Encampment
Artist – Diane Maclean
Diane Maclean is a sculptor and environmental artist whose works are well known for their evocative quality on the subject of a greener naturally sustainable world. A Fellow and council member of the Royal British Society of Sculptors she was born in London and educated at the University of Hertfordshire. Mc Lean’s work speak of the associations with sustainable cultures as seen in the work “Encampment” that area set of conical forms rising from the earth like a cluster settlement. This monumental sculptural installation in reflective stainless steel scatters light in a myriad colours bringing to life the beauty of the sustainable environments of cluster settlements in the past as a reminder to strike a balance between man and nature. Reflective materials that use natural light figure largely in her art. In the artist’s own words she is interested in “the material of our planet and the climate that affects it, and have worked with scientists in trying to interpret aspects of this in my work”.
