About Faith Bebbington

“I studied sculpture at Winchester College of Art, set up my Liverpool studio in 1993 and now work nationally creating public artworks and exhibiting my sculpture. I also devise themed and issue-based art projects in partnership with local schools, communities and cultural organisations such as Culture Liverpool and Dadafest.

My artistic practice initially stemmed from having cerebral palsy, a disability that has made me curious about how people and animals move. I explore this through figurative sculptures playing with balance, the process of falling, and capturing sequences of movement whether human or animal.

In 2014 my artistic perspective shifted radically after surviving ‘terminal’ cancer! I stopped working with fibreglass resin as my main medium and focused on more sustainable, environmentally friendly ways of working, particularly re-using plastics by breaking the component parts down to then reconstruct them.

I’m developing new lines of enquiry such as 3D recycled street art like the Super Rat made with 100’s of plastic milk bottles; alongside re-using waste items such as bottle lids and crisp packets to explore patterns in natural geometry, cellular structures and mandalas.”
