Laura Ford's sculptures are faithful representations of fantasy with sometimes bitter sweet and menacing qualities mixed with tenderness. She uses humour and an acute observation of the human condition to engage with wider social and political issues. Her work is intensely crafted but playful, and she has used a range of media to realise her work including, drawing, painting, performance, set design and has increasingly taken on the challenge of public art alongside museum and gallery shows.
Laura Ford is the President of the Royal Society of Sculptors.
Laura has said:
I really enjoyed this challenge, being given the lollypop and bronze sticks allowed the joy of improvisation, like a very limited, miniature dressing up box.
