INTRODUCTION
by Julienne Dolphin Wilding

...she is determined to stay open and experimental. Her concerns are ecological and work within this framework is evident in her diverse portfolio.

All the materials used would that would otherwise be left for waste take on a new role which exploits their natural individuality and irregularity - precisely those characteristics which preclude their use in most applications. The inherent qualities and features of the materials used inspire the themes for the art works.

She builds up small collections based on narrative themes for exhibitions as well as working to commission. Pieces can be made for retail from her vast product range. She has accomplished an impressive body of work including garden design and construction, water features, furniture of all functions, installation, site-specific sculpture, residencies and collaborations with other artists and designers. Her work has been distributed in Europe, U.S. and Japan.

Artist Statement:
'My work has developed more specifically within environmental concerns. In my one off pieces I use durable materials that do not break and survive the life of the product; recycled materials that have been processed then remanufactured; materials fabricated from factory production waste, and raw materials. I breathe new life into refuse that would have been burnt or despatched to landfill. By preserving the quirks of nature I let the natural forms dictate the structure of the reincarnations. In doing so I hope to raise the consciousness of consumers to inspire a greater ecological responsibility. I feel my work has contributed greatly towards the necessity of ‘Design for Environment’.'
