Diana Scherer is a visual artist living and working in Amsterdam.
Her practice encompasses photography, material research, plant root-weaving and sculpture.
Scherer explores the relationship of man versus his natural environment. Through her installations she examines the boundaries between plant culture and nature.
For the past few years her fascination has been focused on the dynamics of underground plant parts. She has been captivated by the root system, with its hidden, underground processes. Her longterm project Exercises in Rootsystem Domestication originated as an art project with an intuitive approach has also developed into an innovative material research. Working on this project Scherer shifts between disciplines, from design to art, craft and science. To develop the work she collaborate together with biologists, engineers and designers.
