Balancing Act
Sculptures by Faith Bebbington
Trail Guide 17 November to 3 December 2016
About the Work Balancing Act is a collection of new sculptures sited across the city, created by Liverpool based artist Faith Bebbington, exploring subtle actions many people take for granted, such as being able to balance and simple coordinated movements such as walking. “My sculptural practice stems from having cerebral palsy, a disability that is almost imperceptible to most people, but has a big impact on my daily life. As a child wearing calipers, having my leg in plaster for months, wearing special shoes and years of visiting doctors were experiences that made me particularly conscious of my own and other people’s physical movements.”
