About Diane Green
Diane Green's work is a response to a world that she finds increasingly chaotic. It is about sorrow, but also joy. She offers a space for contemplation.
Diane's pieces build on metaphors that she has been exploring in her practice; the crack or tear, the fragment and the space between the fragments. Each has an aspect of being broken to convey how it can feel to walk through the world witnessing or experiencing the tragic in everyday life; inequality, conflict, communication breakdown and climate change. Each piece has an element of beauty to represent those moments of joy that can be found amidst this chaos and which can offer relief or hope.
Diane uses a wide range of precious, but mostly non precious materials to create the fragments that are reformed into objects of beauty and which she hopes to inspire thought. Enamelling, casting and etching are techniques used to distress and to rebuild. Rusts with dull and bright colours and shades of light and dark are used to reflect the dual nature of living.
