SUMMARY:Royal Liver Building: Royal Liver Building: Joy\, by Faith Bebbingt
 on
DESCRIPTION:JOY\n10th – 16th November 2023\nA collection of recycled sc
 ulptures by Faith Bebbington at the Royal Liver Building\nJoin us on Thurs
 day 9th November\, 17:00 - 19:00 for the launch and private view of 'Joy' 
 by Faith Bebbington. A collection of her new and existing recycled sculptu
 res.\n\nFrom 10th – 16th November visit the iconic Royal Liver Buildin
 g on the ground floor between 12pm – 5pm to see the work of renowned loc
 al artist Faith Bebbington\, whose work was not only the most popular ever
  seen on The Liverpool Plinth in 2021 but was also one of the selection pa
 nel for Liverpool Art Fair\, and was interviewed as part of a special even
 t on site in August.\n\n“I studied sculpture at Winchester College of Ar
 t\, set up my Liverpool studio in 1993 and now work nationally creating pu
 blic artworks and exhibiting my sculpture. I also devise art projects in p
 artnership with local schools\, communities and cultural organisations suc
 h as Culture Liverpool and Dadafest.\n\nMy artistic practice initially ste
 mmed from having cerebral palsy\, a disability that has made me curious ab
 out how people and animals move. I explore this through figurative sculptu
 res playing with balance\, the process of falling\, and capturing sequence
 s of movement whether human or animal. In 2014 my artistic perspective shi
 fted radically after surviving ‘terminal’ cancer! I stopped working wi
 th fibreglass resin as my main medium and focused on more sustainable\, en
 vironmentally friendly ways of working\, particularly re-using plastics by
  breaking the component parts down to then reconstruct them.” Faith Bebb
 ington\n\nThis will be the first time since showing with dot-art in 2017\,
  that the public with be able to purchase a Faith Bebbington sculpture\, s
 omething that has been reserved for public commissions only during that ti
 me. With sustainability at the heart of Faith’s practice\, purchase of t
 he sculptures supports the ethical value of artwork that prioritises worki
 ng with recycled materials.\n\nFaith has a diverse range of sculptures on 
 show including works from her Joy collection which inspired the title of
  the exhibition. Faith’s work acknowledges our need to find JOY\, as we 
 navigate through tough times. Sixteen new small-scale recycled paper sculp
 tures will be presented\, all created with wastepaper as the key material.
  The patterned papers used to create the paper mâché surface were collec
 ted over time by neighbours\, friends\, and colleagues.\n\nFaith has creat
 ed many animal sculptures over her career and now debuts five new hybrid\,
  domestic pet-like Creatures. These sculptures of stretching\, growling a
 nd slinking creatures have fur coats made from waste plastic milk bottles.
 \n\nAs you visit the exhibition\, you will discover the variety of scales 
 Faith explores\, from smaller works to her large-scale public pieces that 
 you may recognise from their temporary homes around Liverpool. “Jimmy
 ” the work horse sculpture shown on Liverpool Plinth in 2021 and “Su
 per Rat” which lived on the Baltic Skatepark wall\, offering a chance t
 o see public domain works\, up close and personal.\n\nIn addition to the e
 xhibition\, you will have the opportunity to meet the artist and learn mor
 e about her process during the exhibition week from the opening evening\, 
 a lunchtime workshop\, to informal chats with the artist while in residenc
 e. Please do visit our socials for details of these events.\n\nAll artwork
 s are for sale. (Excluding public artworks)\n\nJoin us for the Private Vi
