Untitled (Vessels)2019Stencil monotypes on Kozo paper17" x 22", unframed Christopher Patch (b.1974) lives and crelates in Waldoboro, Maine. He received his MFA from the School of The Art Institute of Chicago (2000) and completed his undergrad at Maine College of Art, in Printmaking. He recently moved his (summer) studio into the Old Button Factory where his work effortlessly compliments the wild and historic factory of notions.
