Liz Walker

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

In recent years community engagement through creative workshops and collaborative project delivery has become increasingly inportant to her practice and development as an artist. 

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 privte collections in Australia, Japan, Malaysia  and Ireland.
