Chrys Zantis has been living an artful life beside a pristine virgin bushland around the area of Daisy Hill, Queensland Australia. For more than thirty years she has worked as a creative practitioner, educator, community worker, advocate and activist. Zantis works primarily in textile media and traditional crafts such as knitting and crochet, felting, weaving, beading, sewing and embroidery. Her contemporary arts practice spans assemblage, print and digital media, wearable art, installation, and participatory and performance art. Zantis’ work channels her interpersonal explorations of conceptual landscapes. Extensive and highly detailed cartographies of the human mind, body and spirit typify her presentation of individual pieces, both of her own making and of collaborative co-creation. Hidden in the Folds is a profound and responsive textile exhibition by Chrys Zantis. The works explore the mysterious workings within the folds of grey matter in our brains. Building on previous exhibitions, the works delve deeper into the relationships between the internal and external. In doing so, Zantis moves beyond the biological processes that influence the psychological and cognitive aspects of brain function, to pose philosophical questions about consciousness and perception, linking aspects using a powerful mythological narrative. Inspired by the patterns and synchronicities between us and the natural world, Zantis interrogates relationships between the human mind, body and consciousness.
