This is the public profile of Chris Tsonias, Additional information and high-resolution images are available for accredited press members, to access additional information about Chris Tsonias please login as a press member.About Chris Tsonias : or the last 7 years Chris has worked as a sculptor and maker, experimenting with found and discarded materials like paper, card and fabric to develop a construction process imagining, designing and building objects of unparalleled skill and beautiful form. Through extensive research he has created an innovative method for recycling a variety of materials into forms such as functional musical instruments, sculpture, Piano Bike Bar, functional audio speakers & more. These forms have acted as a canvas for Chris’s own imagination. Traditional musical instrument shapes exist in their own right, but are often re-imagined and enhanced with a vivid array of original design elements. Sculptural forms bring to life artistic imagery but also act as a canvas for other artists to explore their practice.
Recognising the often-devastating impact on the environment of current processes to produce musical instruments and audio speakers, Chris has engineered an innovative process, which turns wasted and found materials into one-off unique objects. This process, with its very low impact on the environment, demonstrates a commitment to ecological sustainability and the world we live in.
