Member Since 2004Dilys Jackson’s work derives from her interest in plant and land forms, in their processes and in their kinaesthetic relationship to the human body. She uses a variety of materials such as bronze, steel, wood, stone, iron and paper to arrive at an expression of her perception of the environments around her.
She is working on her latest series derived from pollen forms.
