Christine Hatt makes visual texts. She has exhibited at the Annely Juda Fine Art and East International galleries, and received the Vordemberge-Gildewart award. A former External Examiner for the BA in Fine Art at Goldsmith's College (2002-2204) she is now Course Leader for MA Drawing at Wimbledon School of Art.

Current Research

Christine makes art from lists of words, letters and numbers, seeking new knowledge through visual and textual innovation. Her material is drawn from everyday minutiae. She accumulates abbreviated and coded data - telephone numbers, people's names, times of appointments, addresses, birth dates and private acronyms - to produce a schema of the residual co-ordinates of her life. This stream of data is then edited and re-notated, allowing meanings and identities to unfold and accrue. "What I am recording," she explains, 'are the systems by which we navigate both our quotidian and inner lives.' The resulting visual texts are matrices which may be realised in various physical forms. She is currently engaged in completing her book The Missing Year, a complete data bank from 5 December 1996 to 6 September 1998 .
