Artists >> Dorman Sian
Sian Naomi Dorman is a London based Sustainable Costume Designer & Set Installation Artist. Working at a time when sustainability and eco-consciousness is more important than ever. Sian innovatively combines materials such as: disposed fabrics (natural & synthetic), collected plastics & other waste items, vegetables, fruits, and other ‘gifts’ from nature, which she then melts, bonds, wraps, manipulates, constructs, deconstructs, and moulds, to become three-dimensional ‘wearable art’ and set installation sculptures. The display of her work, often within performative contexts, challenges traditional gallery or runway methods of presenting art works; instead, her abstract shapes, forms and imagery become individual actors with movement, presence, and a sensory nature to engage with. With a flux between monochrome and vibrant colour schemes, her diverse body of work is compelling, mysterious and fun.
