This fascinating volume showcases the work of British artist, poet
and performer Liz Finch and presents a series of 25 sculptures
created between 1975 and 2016. The gentle figures are strangely
familiar, built using found and made objects that might otherwise
be discarded. Knitted limbs and faces with stitched or collaged
features are affixed to torsos made from cardboard boxes that are
plastered with papier-mâché and painted. The fragile bodies are
then suspended on pieces of frayed string and twisted wire from the
shoulders or sometimes by the neck. 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.
