Lizzie Brewer
I am a mixed media conceptual artist.
My work is centred round the complexity of drawing.
Scale and material properties are very important and provide the key experimental core.
I develop these ideas in scientific terms.
I find inspiration and connectivity in the surprising revelations which are exposed with the
free use of materials and magnification of chosen objects.
I make work which quite often transforms and evolves into Artists Books.
