Ninni’s artwork explores the human experience and natural form. “A twisted torso or the outline of a mountain ridge resonates within me and grows in to an idea for a sculpture or mosaic.” Materials inspire Ninni’s process guides her work. Over the years she has worked in cement, clay, wood and metal in different combination. Her artwork is original, and touches the primordial.
