Caldwell's picture
Christopher Caldwell

I consider myself a family-oriented person even though I have chosen to live away from them including my two sons. I struggle with this self-imposed choice. I try to understand and express the often unseen threads that connect people, places, and moments in time. Brought up in the South East of England, to parents who are both half-Scottish, father half-Australian (whatever that means) and mother half-Burmese, I have lived in London, Barcelona and various places in France where I have now settled - in a small village on the banks of the Loire.
