This work is part of Diana’s solo exhibition, Dropping In. This series speaks to the optimistic nature of a childhood spent running free in the wilds of Southern Africa, of the contrasts she experienced there, and of the good she chose to see.

Exploring the interplay of shape, colour and form, Diana’s work celebrates the materiality of mediums on hand – acrylic, oil, ink or tactile oddments of wood, paper and cardboard. Her studies are compelled by the deconstruction and reassembling of images to create new visual solutions in the form of collage, drawings and paintings, where expressive brushstrokes lead the eye to land somewhere between organic and geometric forms.

It is from this sense of grounded space that Diana finds the freedom to express the theme of ever-evolving duality in her work.

Diana says of this work: “These copper wall hangings are further explorations of shape relationships and bring an added medium into the mix alongside her paintings.”
