Friday 20 September 2024: PAST EXHIBITION

Liz Walker’s project ‘Let’s Talk Green’ is an engaging installation about community and sustainability. Inspired by the words of Jonathan Ive, Chancellor of the Royal College of Art, London — “The best ideas start as conversations”

Collecting, repurposing and extending the material possibilities of natural ephemera, found detritus and recycled domestic objects play a key role in a practice investigating contemporary social and environmental concerns.

Liz uses an extensive range of resources gathered from around the inner city and rural sites to construct sculpture, assemblage, installations and ephemeral site-specific responses to people, time and place. She is fascinated by the aesthetics of decay and the visual language created by the passage of time; willingly exploiting this to magnify the underlying issues explored in her work.

Liz has exhibited widely in both solo and group exhibitions, undertaken public artworks, received awards, grants and residencies and her work is held in public and private collections in Australia, Japan, Malaysia and Ireland.
