Dianne Twombly
Dianne Twombly is a Hamilton-based visual artist who photographs then digitally deconstructs abandoned or declining architecture and reimagines the artefacts in more spacious, dream-inspired landscapes that speak of the human connection to lost places.
These neglected places—once vibrant and inhabited sites of human activity—now exist in spectacular worlds, balancing precariously but still grounded...if only on the edge of reality. These new landscapes create space for personal reminiscence and for contemplation on the ways in which times alters our relationship with both past places and our own past selves.
Through her work, Twombly invites the viewer to look more closely at the many layers of the seemingly mundane human spaces we occupy and to see within them a world of new possibilities.
Twombly holds BA and MSW degrees from the University of Toronto, a certificate in Dynamic Media from the Center for Electronic Art in California, and a BFA from York University in Toronto. Her work can be found in private and corporate collections across Canada, including the Scotiabank Art Collection, and in public art projects in Hamilton and Ottawa.
