“My work centres around questions about the human condition, what it is to be human and how we relate to our environment. I am constantly drawn to the paradox between the idea of the uniqueness of the individual and the fact that humans are just one of billions of organisms that inhabit the planet. My installations often involve an element of public participation and this involvement with people is central to my practice.”
Diana Bell works at Magdalen Road Studios, Oxford, where she is director. Her work is mixed media installation, sculpture and public art.
