CARBON CIRCLE IN THE ENGADIN

Exhibition by Caroline Christie-Coxon at Chesa Bosio

Carbon Circle is a site-specific, ephemeral land art piece by artist Caroline Christie-Coxon. Horticultural charcoal is used to draw a large circle in a snow-covered field. Snowfall gradually covers the shape; as the snow melts, it may reappear partially before the material blends into the ground without a trace.

The work reflects on carbon as a material and metaphor—as a cycle of emission, storage, and return. In dialogue with the alpine conditions of the Engadin, Carbon Circle sees itself as a quiet gesture of ecological awareness, not as an intervention. The work follows Christie-Coxon's concepts of Circle Culture and Fluid Loop and addresses transience, connectedness, and responsibility.

About Caroline Christie-Coxon

Caroline Christie-Coxon is an internationally active, Perth-based interdisciplinary artist whose practice explores the relationship between humans and nature through site-specific works, performance, photography, and installation. Guided by her conceptual frameworks Circle Culture and the Fluid Loop, her work explores connectedness, transience, and ecological awareness. Working nomadically across diverse landscapes, Christie-Coxon collaborates with natural forces—wind, water, fire, snow, and gravity—to create ephemeral works shaped by place, process, and time. Her practice emphasizes sustainability, restraint, and regenerative thinking, understanding art as ritual, attention, and return—rather than extraction or permanence.

Free admission.
