Elizabeth Willow

Elizabeth Willow lives and works in Liverpool, and has studied dance, psychology and fine art.
She has exhibited locally and nationally, including Jump Ship Rat, the Bluecoat, the Royal Court Theatre, Rossendale Museum and Glastonbury festival.

Elizabeth’s practice combines elements of sculpture, installation, intervention, poetry and performance, and draws on diverse methods and techniques including flower-arranging, taxidermy, embroidery, dance and bookbinding.
Her work is often inspired by myths and stories, and explores memory, longing and contradiction.

Commissions 2008: Elizabeth Willow

Elizabeth Willow produced an inkjet printed book

The Birds of the British Isles and Their Eggs: A Small Collection of Tales

During the book fair weekend, Elizabeth did hourly readings from the book and people scooted up on cushions and teeny stools to listen in - it was like being 5 again. The books is priced at £14 and can be bought by contacting events@wolstenholmeprojects.org.
