Diane作品中像纸一样的卷轴的灵感来自多年前的一次耶路撒冷之旅。在这里，她参观了哭墙，并被写在纸上的成千上万的愿望和祈祷所吸引，这些愿望和祈祷被塞在墙上的石头之间。在这个古老的地方，这么多人的希望和愿望汇聚在一起，他们与之互动，这给了她很大的启发。

的雕塑作品为人们提供了一个与记忆、个人故事和情感联系的焦点，建立了私人的沉思时刻。
The paper-like scrolls in Diane’s work were inspired by a trip to Jerusalem many years ago. Here she visited the Wailing Wall and was intrigued by the thousands of wishes and prayers written on paper and crammed between the stones in the wall. She was inspired by the collective focus for so many peoples' hopes and wishes at this ancient site and their interaction with it. Diane Griffin sculptures offer a focal point for connecting with memories, personal stories and emotions, establishing private moments of contemplation.

目前的作品集由2个系列组成，功能性花瓶和容器以及精美的艺术陶瓷雕塑。两者的灵感来源相似，她喜欢在功能和小批量生产的范围内进行设计，也喜欢自由地制作雕塑，在那里她可以更深入地探索自己的主题，并尝试各种形式、概念和媒体。
Diane Griffin current portfolio is made up of 2 collections, functional vases & vessels and fine art ceramic sculptures. Both stem from similar inspiration sources and she enjoy designing within the boundaries of function and small batch production as well as having the freedom in making sculptures where she can explore deeper into oneself themes and experiment with forms, concepts and media.

的作品以许多纸状卷轴为特色，有时是单个卷轴作为花苞花瓶，有时则是将卷轴推到一起，在一个较大的花瓶上形成一个雕塑焦点。
Diane Griffin
喜欢将滑铸和手工制作相结合。她用滑铸法制作大型花瓶的主体，然后手工卷制不同尺寸的卷轴，并将其单独使用。

使用各种尺寸的卷轴来增加视觉上的趣味性，同时还能适应不同尺寸的花茎。她的目标是在雕塑美学和实用功能之间取得平衡。
Diane Griffin work features many paper-like scrolls, sometimes single scrolls as a bud vase and other times pushed together to form a sculptural focus on a larger vase. Diane Griffin enjoy using a combination of techniques - slip casting and hand building. The main body of her larger vases is slip cast, then hand roll scrolls in different sizes and apply them individually. Diane Griffin use a variety of scroll sizes for visual interest as well as allowing different stem sizes to be accommodated. she have aimed to strike a balance between a sculptural aesthetic and a practical function.
在
Diane Griffin
的作品中，时间的流逝是一个共同的主题，探索人类与地球之间不断发展的关系。代代相传的古老习俗和信仰继续塑造着我们今天的生活，并为我们的生活带来意义。

的雕塑是为了唤起一种消失的熟悉感，其形式既表明古代起源又表明当代相关性。虽然深深植根于传统实践，但

的作品对这些主题进行了当代诠释，旨在创作出既永恒又适合当今世界的作品。
The passage of time is a concurrent theme in Diane Griffin work, exploring the continuous and evolving relationship between humanity and the Earth. Ancient customs and beliefs passed down through generations which continue to shape and bring meaning to our lives today. Diane Griffin sculptures are created to evoke a sense of removed familiarity, with forms that suggest both ancient origins and contemporary relevance. While deeply rooted in traditional practices, Diane Griffin work offers a contemporary interpretation of these themes, aiming to create pieces that are both timeless yet appropriate in today's world.
