Crafted from ancient Cotswold stone, Liz’s sculptures are layered with 24-carat gold, copper, carbon black or industrial fluorescent paint. She explores where natural and man-made elements collide, working with both raw and synthetic materials.

Drawn to subtle traces of interaction — fingerprints, weathering, and marks that bear witness to time, use, and human presence — Liz finds poetry in the overlooked. Her sculptures evoke quiet moments of connection with the earth, creating a delicate balance of presence, connection, and quiet resonance.
