Honoroller
Chris is an artist with a multidisciplinary practice that combines sculpture, illustration, and graphic design to explore social constructs, branding, popular culture, and the transition from youth to adulthood.
Often rendered primarily in wood, his geometric sculptures use abstract visual language to depict contemporary fashion and footwear. With these principles at the forefront of his work, Chan retains the organic element of the material to represent a mass-produced consumer good.
Although they emulate iconic footwear, the rigid forms themselves are created to host and support live plants flowers.

The Story Behind the Work
Honoroller’s sculptures often take wood as their primary medium, transforming geometric forms into abstract interpretations of contemporary fashion and footwear. While his pieces reference mass-produced consumer goods, he retains the organic qualities of the material, creating a dialogue between the manufactured and the natural.
A distinctive aspect of his work is the integration of living plants into sculptural forms, where rigid, geometric structures designed in the likeness of iconic footwear serve as vessels for flowers and greenery. This combination of abstraction, natural materiality and living elements underscores the tension between permanence and growth, culture and nature.
