Born and raised in Los Angeles, Channing Hansen was educated at San Francisco Art Institute, where he participated in the New Genres program. His recent work combines his interest in the history of science and technology with his commitment to hand-craft and has been included in group exhibitions at Solway Jones Gallery, Outpost, both Los Angeles; and Nuit Blanche, Toronto. Womb-Womb Room, a collaborative installation made with Alexandra Grant based on Faith Wilding’s Crocheted Environment (1972), otherwise known as the Womb Room, was recently presented at Night Gallery, Los Angeles. Hansen is also active as an educator through the Mountain School of Art.
