Concentrated mainly within a three-dimensional realm, Virginia Warwick’s practice juxtaposes playfulness, humor and earnest themes of nature. Virginia explores the ways that either art objects or bodies as performance take up space.
The materials and mediums that Virginia uses are central to the meaning behind her work. Many of the materials are found, transformed and, or unrecognizable from their original form into something a new. This demonstrates her feelings about nature and animals and how the materials she uses, which are familiar to humans are in fact detrimental to the environment and act as a lens into another dimension.
Growing up surrounded by a variety of animals and the natural world, Virginia feels animals and nature are an intrinsic part of her identity and weaves them into her world. This fascination and awe becomes part of the three dimensionality and exploration that Virginia pursues in performance and practice.
