Christopher Boha is a Canadian-born artist living and working in Adelaide, South Australia. Raised in a rural town of 600 people, his formative years were shaped by salvaging materials, building, and making with his hands—experiences that continue to inform his practice to this day. Boha holds a Specialisation in Glass from the Alberta College of Art and Design and a PhD from the University of South Australia. With a background in glass, sculpture, fabrication, and teaching, he has exhibited internationally across Australia, Canada, Italy, China, and beyond. His work explores ideas of belonging, memory, belief, and the stories we construct to locate ourselves in an unstable world.

Upon the Threshold of Remembering is a deeply layered exploration of cultural memory, ecological loss, and the shifting narratives we build to make sense of ourselves and our futures. In this body of work, Boha constructs hybrid ‘altars’—assemblages of found objects, photography, printed glass, and reclaimed materials—each acting as a reliquary for a changing world. The works evoke a sense of fragility and reverence, asking what we choose to hold sacred when the structures around us begin to erode.
Drawing on his upbringing of salvaging and making, Boha brings both material and emotional archaeology into play. Hand-built frames from demolished homes and oxidized metals offer a tactile trace of time and entropy. His sculptures and wall-mounted pieces sit at a metaphysical threshold—between past and future, destruction and preservation, belief and doubt. Some works move or shift slightly, echoing the instability of the climate and the cultural narratives we cling to.
Through these works, Boha invites viewers to reflect on the remnants we carry—what we choose to preserve, mourn, or mythologize. This is not just an act of memory, but a call to reimagine how we might live more consciously in the aftermath of change.
