A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe; a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts, and his feelings as something separate from the rest – a kind of optical delusion of consciousness.
Albert Einstein.

The twentieth century brought the production of plastics, a material designed by man for the convenience of man. An everyday and predominately an only-used once commodity, yet it transcends the parameters of known time; as it will take trillions of years to break down naturally and enfold into another substance.
Agreeing with Albert Einstein and drawing upon Gilles Deleuze’s theory of the Fold, where everything breaks down to monad particles, to flow and enfold between matter, time, space and thought; it surpasses the Empiricism concept that all human knowledge is based on personal experience derived from the senses and distinct from the universe and beyond.

  • About The Artist

    Using repetitive processes, Lorrain’s practice is one of enfoldment.  Fragile, seemingly ephemeral, inconsequential and often using transparent plastic substances, her sculptures and drawings are made from every day, single use materials, achieved through a labour-intensive craft process of wrapping.

  • Caring For Your Artworks

    Avoid hanging your artwork or displaying your sculpture in direct sunlight, above a working fireplace, or in a damp or humid area.

    When cleaning, never use water or commercial cleaners - always use your high-quality, lint-free microfiber cloth dry, and handle the artwork with extreme care to avoid creating fingerprints, dents or creases. This is especially important for artworks without glazed fronts.

    Lighting which washes the walls of a room displays all paintings without damaging them with ultraviolet rays or direct heat from sunlight. Energy-saving bulbs or yellow light bulbs don't capture artworks to their full beauty.

    Sculpture should always be lit from eye level or above, never from below as while this may create momentary drama it will not do the work justice.
