My work is both 2D and 3D; uses natural materials and is strongly influenced by natural form, containment and movement. Materials used include: stone, clay, chalk, willow, poplar, birch, hazel, and dogwood stems, leaves and wood.

More Information About Caroline

I undertake residencies and commissions for site-specific installations in which the importance of form and context are paramount. Recent such commissions have included an installation at the entrance to the North Hykeham Theatre in Lincoln; 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 gallery exhibitions have included the Urban Field exhibition at Contemporary Applied Arts in London; the touring Met Office exhibition “Elemental Insight”; and I am working towards 3 selected solo exhibitions during 2009. The work within these exhibitions reflect a continuing need to connect to the earth and the natural world. Issues of sustainability, the fragility of permanence to impermanence and our own mortality are increasingly important influences in my work.
