About Chris Brown
Chris Brown (Muloobinba/Newcastle) works at the confluence of entities and phenomena, the ways in which emotional states, stories of place and imagination intersect, the alchemy of wild fermentation and the transformative power of nature’s forces. The stories and ferments that he makes are products of his alter-ego, Magi – a forest dwelling non-binary neo-pagan alchemist, aligned to cultivating, holding, activating, inviting and conjuring.
