Norman makes works that are at once physical and metaphysical. His works explore the elemental and cyclical synergies of nature. Materiality, pattern, scale, and experience are key concerns within his practice. Norman makes sculptures, interior and exterior installations, drawings, and works on paper, his methodology is one of experimentation and process with materials such as smoke, glass, steel, and resin.
