Christopher Robin Duncan (b. 1974, Perth Amboy, New Jersey) is a multidisciplinary artist based in Oakland, California. Duncan utilizes the Sun and the Moon as well as Time and the Tides as conceptual and compositional prompts for both sonic and visual work. In his long term sun exposure works, sunlight and the passing of time are harnessed to create images which exist in a liminal space between painting and photography. Store bought fabrics are draped over objects or architectural structures and left outside in the elements for six months to one year. There is no emulsion or chemical process used, just time and exposure to the sun. The fabric is both placed and harvested on full moons, marking time by celestial cycle, and bookending the embedded light of the sun with the light of the moon. Upon harvest, the fabric is sun bleached and weathered with the dimensionality of the object or area it once covered, providing fades, contrasts, and unpredictable compositions. Working intuitively, the fabric is cut, sewn, painted, or stretched and left as is. Each work is meant to honor time and capture the energy of the locales in which the exposures occur. Duncan’s sonic work consists of lush, tonal, open compositions created with harmonica, tuning forks, percussion, electronics, and field recordings of the ocean. Part ritual, part ceremony, Duncan’s live performances often employ candle light, circumambulation, and evoke time passing in the form of interpretations of setting suns and full moons.

A Chico Stix x Christopher Robin Duncan Joint!
WOLF MOON - STRAWBERRY MOON

On the first full moon of 2025- the Wolf Moon, Chico Brenes and I went to his childhood home
in Daly City California to start our collaboration.

We wrapped seven old skateboards, all
different Chico-Stix shapes that Chico skated, in colored fabric and placed them in a spot
in the backyard that got the most sunlight.... and left.

On June 6th 2025- the day of the Strawberry Moon, we returned to see the results of this very
simple gesture. in the six months that passed, the effects of time and natural forces became
visible. the sun, wind and rain altered, shifted and bleached out the fabric to the folds and
contours of the used skateboards. there was no photo emulsion or chemical accelerant used in
this process- just time passing and the energy of the sun.

Upon harvest, the fabric was washed and brought into my studio, cut up, sewn, painted and
stretched to create this series. the energy, aura and residue of these old skateboards and the
backyard they rested in for six months were transformed into painterly sun bleached gestures
to create compositions that honor and embrace time, place, the sun, the moon as metric and the
power of skateboarding.
