Feel Flow & Form
Irene’s sculptures are a response to life’s balance between control and freedom.
Working with a structurally challenging medium, she utilizes a visceral and intuitive process to work the stone into free forms, constantly testing her own understanding of structure, movement and flow as she perceptively feels for the stone’s ability to accept or reject her applications.
Intrinsic to her artistic practice is the sculptures simplicity, diversity of shape and organic state. Through constant sensorial reactions, such as touch and sight, Irene curates an immersive experience for her viewers.
