Orla de Brí

“My work is predominately figurative. I am curious about human behaviour and how we development and change over time. How we analyse ourselves, relate to other people, and how we connect with our surroundings is central to my work.
The process of making a sculpture is something I really enjoy; it begins with a thought or a feeling then a drawing, followed by the physical aspect of constructing the piece. I like playing with and exploring different materials, combining elements that seem incompatible at first, but yet express something in the piece. During this process I feel very much part of the work, almost like a meditation”
