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.

Join Artist and caregiver, Safi Alia Shabaik, as she shares her father’s end-of-life journey with Parkinson’s disease, dementia and sundowner's syndrome. This event will also include conversations with experts and people living with Parkinson’s on topics such as family caregiving, creativity and Parkinson’s, end-of-life care, and dignified death.
The images in this exhibit and the program discussion may generate a wide variety of reactions and emotions. It is one family’s journey and does not reflect everyone’s experience. Our goal is to bring awareness and understanding, through art and storytelling, to topics that may not always be discussed.
There is no charge to attend, but registration is required.
This event is part of the Artist’s exhibit that includes photographs, audio recordings and objects documenting her father’s end-of-life journey with Parkinson’s, dementia and sundowner's syndrome. The exhibit opens on Saturday, April 1 at 3 p.m. and continues through April 30 at 1100 Florence Gallery in Evanston.
Gallery Hours: Wednesdays & Fridays 5-8 p.m., Saturdays & Sundays 12-5 p.m. Private viewings at 1100florencegallery[at]gmail.com

A series of watercolors and mylar drawings, this body of work explores the disconnect between the precision of architectural drawing and the dream-like processes of mapping and memory. Using the tools and media of architectural representation, the drawings address the tension between the concrete nature of the places we inhabit (and the means by which we define them) and the erosion of those places in the imagination.
