Daniella Mooney lives and works in Cape Town and has been sculpting for two years since graduating from the Michaelis School of Fine Art in 2009.With media as diverse as moss and borrowed wishes (retrieved from corporate fountains and forested baths), black fountains and light itself, Mooney posits art as a catalyst, and a container, for some of the enchantment of nature, science and everyday life. The artist uses her craftsmanship to carve, mould, form and build, creating works she describes as “as in intriguing, beautiful and tragic as nature itself ”.
