Big Medium proudly presents There―Not There by Christina Moser. A multisensory experience designed to move us internally and physically through space, emotions, and environments.
Moser, who’s mostly known for her gradient paintings, and who has always leaned on abstraction, geometry, and the impossible, opens her practice to objects and installation, allowing us to accompany her on a journey of reflection through the tumultuous and transformative last few years of her life.
“There―Not There is a collection of work that explores the in between, a meditation on transition as a constant. Particularly, exploring the transitory nature of the self and our various threshold stages. For something to be defined as a middle stage, there must be a beginning and an end. Such dualities include: life and death, creation and destruction, pleasure and suffering, light and dark, impermanence and permanence, personal shadow and collective shadow. The work straddles a space between conscious and unconscious, capturing ephemeral moments and extending them for further contemplation.”
The most important reason for going from one place to another is to see what’s in between, and they took great pleasure in doing just that.
― Norton Juster, The Phantom Tollbooth
There―Not There runs from January 20 through February 25, 2023.

About the artist
Christina Moser is a multi-disciplinary artist working to call attention to the infinite. Her work examines liminality—the space of change, things that exist on a temporal timeline. Primarily painting large scale works with airbrush, the use of emotive color, symbolic geometries, impossible objects, and references from personal experiences blur into an abstract vocabulary. Observations of natural, seasonal and daily change function as a reflection of the self and the unconscious, vast landscapes as reminders of our insignificance in the greater cosmos.
Christina grew up in Houston, TX and received a BFA in Design from the University of Texas at Austin. She lives in Marfa, TX.
