Process and Media

So how does Christopher Pratt do what he does? Where do his ideas come from? And once he gets an idea, how does he move from that idea to a finished work?

Inspiration
All creative processes begin with an idea. Pratt's ideas are often based on memories of places he has been and things he has done that are important to him. This "inspiration" is always the first step in creating any work of art. Click on the icon to the left to discover more about Pratt's inspirational process and how his memories and experiences become the basis for his work.Studies


To bridge the gap between ideas and the reality of making images, Pratt next goes through a process known as 'making' or 'doing' studies. To find out more about the study process and how it fits in with the overall process of making an artwork, click on the icon to the right.

Finally, Pratt moves into the process of making the final image. Because he does not work in any one medium exclusively, the process for making the finished piece will depend on the medium. To see the process behind each medium Pratt works in, click on the appropriate icon below.
