Sculpture & Installation
This series, entitled InOrganics, focuses on the transformation of everyday materials to mimic ethereal, often organic structures. The fragility of ourselves - and our world - are represented in their qualities.
InOrganics work is often abstract and experimental, a constant negotiation between maker and materials where outcomes can be influenced, but never entirely controlled.
Developments of these themes consider the body as ‘place’ - the location of memory and emotion – where sculptural work becomes costume, reflecting upon the personal impact of both individual and global concerns.

Landscape
Diana’s work is informed by personally significant landscapes where ever-changing conditions are a metaphor for cause and effect of life experiences.
The origins of this series lies in the natural world with studies of the symbiotic nature of life cycles and regeneration. Themes of human interactions with the land; where we have come from - and where we are going to - are intertwined with these observations to create emotional environments.
Using multiple ways of creating and recording moments in time and place, study that is central to generating ideas and new explorations.
