Pandora makes work with confined & isolated spaces, some of which are nostalgic, some futuristic, some internal, some imposed. Recently transient habitations, rather than permanent settlement, have been the focus of her installations. There is a continuing interest in land use, power and the occasional failure of collective memory in the public realm. She likes to use vernacular traditions and techniques for the social history they represent and the way they can speak to a wider audience. Her frequent use of living material in the landscape is connected to human dependence on plants.
