As an artist Gina’s sculpture-based practice draws on her background in lighting and somatic education to investigate the metaphorical and psychological effect architecture and the built environment has on our everyday life. She employs everyday building materials to create work that develops a sense of narrative and landscape within the surfaces to examine notions of memory, time and place.

 

She is also a qualified Feldenkrais practitioner.
