Dominic Harris

Dominic Harris creates artworks that change through an encounter with their viewer. Butterflies gather and scatter, flowers shift through the seasons, and familiar symbols reveal less familiar meanings.

Working from his London studio, Harris brings together drawing, sculpture, code and engineering to explore beauty, fragility and the influence we have on the world around us. His practice extends from individual objects to immersive environments and public installations.
