Contours
Lizzie Farey’s practice concentrates on wood and willow, which she harvests once a year from her willow field in Kirkcudbrightshire. Her work also incorporates foraged pussy willow, larch twigs, rushes, reeds and bog myrtle.
Natural forms provide both the foundation and inspiration for my work. My career in willow spans over thirty years, beginning in 1991, when I immersed myself in every aspect of the traditional craft of basketmaking. Once I had mastered these skills, I naturally transitioned towards more artistic forms and sculptures, allowing the beauty of the materials to emerge. My latest pieces aim to convey a sense of depth, calm, and simplicity. – Lizzie Farey
