Kristopher was born in Wisconsin and lived in Mississippi and Australia before settling in Atlanta 15 years ago. Kris attended Valdosta State University and later transferred to Georgia State University where he majored in fine arts with a focus on sculpture. He also studied abroad in Mexico and Lunsden, Scotland, where he attended the Scottish Sculpture Workshop. Throughout his academic career most of Kris’s artwork had a definite underlying thread. A recurring shape called a hyperbolic paraboloid or hypar. This shape has profound inner meanings to kris, not only it’s inherent features which unify order and chaos, but also ones more implicit with relations to science and Mathematics. By using artwork as a language to inspire, enliven, or intrigue Kristopher has come to know the importance of purpose as function.
