Elizabeth Willow makes sculptures, artist's books, collages and ephemera. Much of her work is small, intimate and intricate, inspired by lost and found things, dreams and memories, overlooked details, fragments and forgotten places. She is fascinated by our relationship to objects and materials, their physical, functional and symbolic qualities, how we touch and are touched by things.

Often Elizabeth's work involves type-setting, letterpress printing and bookbinding techniques, delighting in the tactile and painstaking processes, the sense of thought made substance.

She increasingly combines traditional methods with experimentation, sometimes mixing ink with other ingredients, such as dust, sap and rain, or printing onto papers which are old and delicate, exploring the tension between the solidity of press and type and the fineness of surface, and what might happen when they come together.
