Discipline:

Location:

Staffordshire

ABOUT:

Lilly Foster-Eardley's art practice delves into exploring and interpreting the intricacies of the natural world through the creation of sculpture and immersive installation. Whether fabricating felted and sewn animals, wooden bins or clay banana skins these static artworks are also brought to life through stylised animation shorts. Foster-Eardley’s depiction of unique characterisation and storytelling draws parallels between the natural world and our 21st-century civilisation, like our adaptation to the lives we now lead, animals have followed - just as civilisation has become obsessed with the fast food industry and confectionary, animals have followed suit routing through our rubbish and feasting on their own burger and fries. Foster-Eardley emphasises the adaptation of wild creatures and this peculiar and humorous imitation within the context of urbanisation. Through her multi-disciplinary practice, she explores an alternate reality where animals take on more human-like characteristics, adjusting their behaviour and their natural habitats to survive the dynamic environment dominated by humans.

SUPPORT WORKING CLASS CREATIVES (1).png

'Working Class Creatives' responds to a need which is too often overlooked in the arts; that of the barriers facing working-class artists from getting on in our sector. They are instrumental in initiating much-needed change that will see the art world become more inclusive and reflect the society it purports to serve. I often search their database in my research, it is a vital resource for any arts professional working in culture today. That they have got this far on so little financial resource is remarkable and I am excited to see what they will achieve with further support.” Beth Hughes, Curator, Arts Council Collection.
