Description

Front view of bronze sculpture by Laura Ford at the Meijer Sculpture Gardens in Grand Rapids, Michigan. "Her 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's website.
