About my work
“My life has been profoundly touched by living and working with people from the Himalayas such as Bhutan, Tibet and India and this has inspired me to explore various aspects of the cultures and landscape in my work”.

Lorna Green
I am a sculptor and environmental artist whose main interest over is in Art in Public Places. I have worked throughout the U.K. 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, silk flowers and drinks cans, and snow, etc. and enjoy working on both large and small scale.

My practice draws its inspiration from the relationship mankind has with the environment and the complete systems that we depend on. Current practice has taken me on an investigation of A Matter of Life and Death; using garden environs as test beds, I am exploring the complex systems and life cycles that occur in nature and that we as a species depend on. This has taken me into experiments with permaculture, sustainability and seed saving.
With a background in landscape design, I am also interested in how mapping and recording our environment contributes to our attitude to the environment around us. I am specifically interested in artists’ gardens as metaphors for environmental issues and the boundaries between art and horticultural worlds, with a view to exploring sensual engagement both in the act of creating and experiencing gardens.
