Elizabeth is a Barrow born, Morecambe based artist and designer, working with a wide range of found, waste and natural materials. She has a studio practice and delivers socially engaged projects, the two are intrinsically connected.
Predominantly through sculpture and drawing/mark making, Elizabeth explores relationships between nature, technology, science and myth, and is interested in what process led, material practice can teach us about ourselves and the world we live in. Her works emerge through engaging in a humble and curious relationship with the more than human world, where she discovers the particular animism and agency of the materials themselves and the importance of listening to, not imposing, narratives.
Elizabeth has an established collaborative and socially engaged practice working with diverse communities across London and in the north of England. She is experienced in co-creation and believes it is equally important that artistic concept and high quality of output is matched with the opportunity for active engagement. within her projects she aims to nurture a supportive, non heirarchicial environment where artists, individuals, families or community groups can share ideas and participate in hands on, intuitive making.
