Claudia Borgna, Bursary

My work entails the investigation of the “evolution of landscape”, a process started and affected by modern life-styles and consumerism. My 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.

Born in Hamburg, Germany, and raised in Italy, after graduating from Genoa University in foreign literature, I moved to London, where I have been living for over 15 years although lately I have been leading a nomadic life style pursuing my art a bit all over the world.

Several art courses, both practical and theoretical have allowed me to experiment with various disciplines, media and techniques, including ceramics, life drawing and painting, sculpture and printmaking and have led to my completion in 2005 of a second degree in Fine Art at the London Metropolitan University.
