Louise Garland
The work of Louise Garland engages with philosophical beliefs in the continuum of life. It examines the nature of our existence, linking the personal with the metaphysical (especially from a female standpoint). Her work frequently references the collective notions of archaic symbolism and almost always incorporates found materials and objects into each piece.
Her works are rigorously composed through the use of measurement, employing geometry and mathematical calculations often sourced from nature. Garland presents us with thought provoking, emotional and sometimes witty configurations of both our immediate existence, our self-constructed histories and our greater consciousness.
