Lorna Green is a sculptor and environmental artist whose main interest over is in Art in Public Places. She has worked throughout the U.K. as well as widely overseas in both urban and rural landscapes, indoors and outdoors and have made sculptures which have been both permanent and temporary including many symposia. Her sculpture is site specific in that it relates totally to the site taking into consideration the architecture, the landscape, the history, economy, ecology or mythology of the area. She uses a wide variety of materials relevant to the project – wood, stone, bricks, steel, bronze, planting, rope, sand, water, glass, light, plastics, even feathers, silk flowers and drinks cans, and snow, etc. and enjoy working on both large and small scale.
She has worked the length and breadth of the UK as well as in Australia several times, New Zealand, Canada, China, Korea, Japan, Hungary, Italy, France also several times, Germany three times, the former Yugoslavia, Lithuania, Ireland, Austria, The Netherlands and Lapland.
