Sculpture and Installation

Diana focuses on the transformation of everyday materials to mimic ethereal, often organic structures.  Processes include crafting methods and heat treatment .


Wherever possible materials are recycled and repurposed to reduce adverse environmental impact. 

Developments 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.
