Lorna Green
I am a sculptor and environmental artist whose main interest over the last few years has been in art in public places. I have worked throughout the UK as well as overseas in both urban and rural landscapes, indoors and outdoors, and have made sculptures which have been both permanent and temporary. My sculpture is site-specific in that it relates totally to the site taking into consideration the architecture, the landscape, the history, economy, ecology or mythology of the area. I use a wide variety of materials relevant to the project - wood, stone, bricks, steel, bronze, planting, rope, sand, water, glass, light, plastics, even feathers and drinks cans, etc. and enjoy working on both large and small scale. Influences Architecture/urban environment, environment/ecology, landscape, mythology, history, economy, landscape design, landfill sites.
