Symbio-Being

By  Liz Clifford 2022

Liz Clifford

The work is a free-standing sculpture on 3 legs. It has a slight wobble but is stable. It hints at evolving hybrid forms and references the human form through scale and the domestic provenance of some of the materials. All the materials are salvaged, the wire and metal objects having been found in the rural landscape. The contrasts of soft and hard are intended to be uncomfortable, referencing human treatment of nature as well as the toll borne by the human body over time.
