Knitted limbs, stitched faces and cardboard bodies: the uncanny sculpture of Liz Finch
This fascinating volume showcases the work of British artist, poet and performer Liz Finch (born 1951), and presents a series of 25 sculptures created between 1975 and 2016. The gentle figures are strangely familiar, built using found and made objects. Finch subverts the ordinary and engages with the uncanny; a strange and anxious feeling created by familiar objects in unfamiliar contexts. Featuring full reproductions of each artwork alongside close details that reveal their composition, the book is threaded with poetic texts by Finch that blur the lines between personal memories, surreal dreams and everyday reality.
