ARTIST STATEMENT


Diane's works, multidisciplinary installations and performances explore the multidimensionality of human existence. Her work nurtures wonderment as an existential itch raising inevitable questions and entertaining curiosity and investigation about all constructs including time and language, as well as the notion of free will.

Stating that answers are never contemporary to the issues she leans towards, she has an interest in sci-fi as a nonlinear modality to resolve imaginary queries offering imaginary solutions.
