Nevine Mahmoud, Second Nature

Nevine Mahmoud, Second Nature explores the uncanny intersections of nature, material and imagination. Working primarily in stone, British artist Nevine Mahmoud transforms marble and alabaster into surreal forms—from oversized fruits dripping with glass to toys and figures suspended between playfulness and unease. Installed throughout the museum’s public spaces, the works challenge viewers’ perceptions of the natural world and the permanence of stone.
