DINA TORRANS

b.1967, Canada Lives in Toronto, Canada

“I have had the pleasure of working with Nature, bronze, clay, gypsum, metal, marble, minerals, cement, wood, found objects, colour and sound. My themes tend to be inspired by ideas about Nature, our human belief systems, personal and planetary evolution and our ultimate interconnectedness. I have found that in exploring the creative process, my work reflects various ideas and developments in my personal mythology. This process continues to inspire me to action and to dialogue about our evolving world and times. It is one of my most valuable teachers.”
