Louise Plant FRSS

Louise Plant's work considers how movement and human energy influence the space around us. It explores shapes and rhythms created by human movement and physical elements borne of the earth. Often led by a strong personal, visceral response, she seek to capture these powerful forces, rendering them accessible, tangible objects to be seen and touched. Recent work takes inspiration from natural forms created underwater, embracing the undulating movement of organic matter. 
Louise began her journey in sculpture studying with the Open College of the Arts whilst balancing a full-time teaching career. She later left teaching to focus on sculpture. Now an elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Sculptors, her work has been exhibited internationally and throughout the UK.
She has been awarded the Year of the Artist Award from the Arts Council of England, the Brian Mercer Marble Scholarship, Studio Sem, Italy, and the Swedish KKV Bohuslän Scholarship.
Her sculptures are part of private collections worldwide and commissioners include the RNIB Loughborough, the MOD, Northwood, Somerset County Council, Durham County Council and the Waldorf Astoria, Bangkok. Plant’s latest public installation is sited in Edinburgh in the recently developed cultural quarter at 1 New Park Square, Edinburgh Park.
