Peculiar Tales from the Peripheral Peninsula – Flotsam Fables

Exploring personal mythologies, metamorphosis and identity, Flotsam Fables was conceived by Wirral based visual artist, mixed media sculptor and doll maker, Becky Bryson (Riva). Flotsam Fables turns detritus retrieved from Wirral’s timeless coastline into mythological sculptures and otherworldly dioramas.
