Hilarie Mais

[3] She travelled to Australia in 1981 and has since exhibited at the Biennale of Sydney and the Australian Sculpture Triennial.

She seeks to merge a rigid grid structure with more organic natural forms.

The geometric patterns repeat and expand outwards, mimicking the process of growth, according to the artist.

[7] Her works are highly detailed, often with hundreds of tiny screws holding each part of the sculpture in place.

[9] In more recent years, Mais has experimented with making designs from waste plastic.
