Exhibition Statement

In February of 2022, Christine Huck was diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkin's Lymphoma.  Christine's treatment included chemotherapy every other week from March through August. In April of that year, following her fourth treatment, she was told she was in remission after a PET scan, and continued the subsequent eight treatments as directed by her care team. This body of work, titled Remission, explores her perspective from the time of diagnosis through treatment and into remission. It contains imagery and text related to her everyday experience while in medical care over this period of time, including after she returned to work in mid-September. 

Since 2013, Christine had sponsored Lizbeth, an Ecuadorian child through Children International. Lizbeth died of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma at the age of 18 in February of 2022, the same month Christine was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s. All artist profits for this exhibition will go to Lizbeth's family.

Christine Huck graduated from the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign in 2003, with a BFA in painting. She also received an MFA in 2009 from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design in Visual Studies, with a focus in photography, sculpture, and painting. Her primary focus as of late is photography, and she shares much of her work on easily accessible platforms such as Instagram in order to reach audiences both inside and outside of formal art venues.
