ARTIST STATEMENT

With Crystal's work and educational background in architecture and design, her work has revolved around residential architecture and the idea of what home means to different people and cultures. Canada is a melting pot of culture with a huge variety of definitions of home. Elements of home can revolve around environment, economy, family, belief systems, or politics. Home can be: Where your belongings are, where you feel safe, where you sleep, where people you love most are, where you share similar values with people around you, where you work, where you play, where you value time spent, where your best memories lay, a place you fight for, a climate you're surrounded by, or people, places, and politics you're familiar with.
