About the work
Liz Larner took this photograph of her inscription on the base of A hard line to bend – the eponymous work in her exhibition at Camden Art Centre. It reimagines the legendary female figure Lilith who, according to the medieval text The Alphabet of Ben Sira was created from the earth as an equal to Adam (unlike Eve who was formed from his rib). In an act of self-determination, she chose to leave the Garden of Eden rather than accept subordination. With roots in ancient Mesopotamian traditions and associated narratives in the Hebrew bible, Talmudic and later Kabbalistic literature, Lilith belongs to a wider family of mythological beings associated with female autonomy, erotic independence, dream, and the night.
Initially Larner inscribed the title Lilith in the Morphic Field but later revised it, scoring through the text and adding A hard line to bend. Both the title of the newly commissioned sculpture and the exhibition, it alludes to the many ways Larner’s practice counters or pushes against predetermined ideas, values and definitions.
About the artist
Liz Larner (b. 1960, Sacramento, California) lives in Bellingham, WA. Internationally acclaimed for her materially adventurous and conceptually driven sculptural practice, often interrogating form, surface, spatial dynamics, and the body’s relation to matter, Larner’s use of diverse materials – resin, metals, stone, ceramics, and even bacterial cultures – has placed her at the forefront of post-minimal and feminist approaches to sculpture.
