Christine Dixie is a Senior lecturer in the Fine Art Department at Rhodes University.A South African artist whose training in printmaking has extended into installation, her work is predominantly focused on two interlinked concerns, the visual strategies deployed in frontier landscape representation and the narratives used in constructing images of gender. In much of her work a deceptively calm surface is disrupted by an undercurrent, a counter-narrative that threatens to disrupt a tenuous vision of logic and stability.Dixie is represented in national and international collections including The New York Public Library, The Smithsonian National Museum of African Art, The Johannesburg Art Museum and the Iziko National Art Museum
