Elizabeth Clough is a Barrow born, Morecambe based artist and designer, producing works spanning installation, sound, sculpture, text and drawing. Primarily a multidisciplinary maker her practice is rooted in the practical and intuitive exploration of material, place and community. Working predominantly with waste, natural and accessible materials, she is interested in what process led making practices can teach us about ourselves and the world we live in.
Taking a unique interdisciplinary approach to researching and presenting, Clough works to encourage connection in unlikely places in order to introduce and challenge ideas. Through participatory and collaborative working, she aims to create non heirarchical environments and to listen deeply to people, places and materials. This often takes her out of traditional and industry driven spaces / practices and into the unknown. She is interested in the difference between constructing meaning and receiving information and her works are always site specific, project specific, process led, feeling led, evolving, non generic and non linear.
Clough’s work explores an embodied relationship with the physical and natural world and how this story is reflected in our technologies, past, present and future, interrogating the relationship and connection between science, myth and other ways of knowing and being.
