Caroline Duffy describes her sculptural pieces as ‘collages’ using found and recycled materials to make abstract artworks. She begins her process by constructing collages she makes from old cardboard. Her philosophy is to try to make something out of the many types of discarded materials that we come across almost every day. Nearly all of her sculptures started life as a utilitarian object which was discarded and now has been made into something else. She even likes to replicate the ‘torn’ edges on the steel that can be seen in the cardboard collages.

Caroline says of her work: “The steel defines the spaces, opening and closing, air flowing over, under and through.”
