Lives and works between Brussels and Cape Town

Antonia Phoebe Brown's sculptural works convey both fragility and strength through their sinuous contours and transparency. Using layered fabric and paper suspended between metal forms, she creates an ethereal quality to her pieces. Her interest in the social and symbolic significance of flowers is highlighted by the use of natural pigments to dye the materials. Through her work, Brown explores the movement and transfer of plants as intended acts of dislocation, as well as their cultural history in healing, fertility, and intoxication.
