Description: |
Working as both a landscape architect and sculptor throughout the UK, Caroline makes small scale pieces as well as undertaking residencies and commissions for site-specific installations in which the importance of form and context are paramount. Commissions have included two installations along the Wessex Ridgeway; “Union” an installation within a young woodland; “Fallen Apples” an installation within a community orchard as part of the Creative Footsteps Project along the Wessex Ridgeway; an installation created specifically for the frontage of the new Crafts Study Centre building at the Surrey Arts Institute and “Shoot/Wave” an installation at Dorset County Hospital as part of the Arts in Hospital Programme. Recent exhibitions have included the Urban Field exhibition at Contemporary Applied Arts in London; the touring Met Office exhibition “Elemental Insight”; and “Get Fresh2”. Her work has become a medium for an interaction with nature, which is deeply personal. |
