///CLAUDIA BORGNA : INSTALLATION
Location: London, UK
Claudia Borgna was born in Hamburg, Germany, and raised in Italy. After graduating from Genoa University in foreign literature, she moved to London, where she has been living for the past 15 years.
For several years she has attended diverse art courses, both practical and theoretical, which have allowed her to experiment with various disciplines, media and techniques, including ceramics, life drawing and painting, sculpture and printmaking.
This led to her completion in 2005 of a second degree in fine art at the London Metropolitan University. Since then she has been exhibiting in shows in London, around the UK, Europe and the USA, and has attended residencies in the USA, Canada and Europe.
She has been awarded both the Joan Mitchell and he Pollock-Krasner grant.
Her work entails the investigation of what she calls the “evolution of landscape”, a process started and effected by modern life-styles and consumerism. Her installations are the materialization of an ongoing observation and questioning of how the “plastic” and the natural realms interact with one another and thereby come to create new ephemeral orders. She mainly works with recycled plastic bags.
