About the Artwork

This piece is a melted glass cup which broke into two down the middle. From the sharp shards of the two halves the glass has been put through a slumping process, transforming it into a softer safer to handle object. This new form similarly dysfunctional
to the broken cup shows a half baked process, still remaining in two pieces with a memory of the circular base of the glass. This work explores themes of domesticity, memory, action, rage and transformation. The remnants of an action is present in this
piece.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Lizzie Cardozo (b. 1995) is a multidisciplinary artist based in North London. Her practice works with sculpture, printmaking, and installation to explore themes of familial structures, the body, and ephemera. She graduated from Chelsea College of Arts in 2021 and has since participated in several artist residencies across Europe. Her work has been exhibited internationally, including venues from Taipei, Taiwan to the Saatchi Gallery in London.
Some of the central themes in her practice are the body, identity, place, and memory. Lizzie is interested in how objects hold memory and treats them as a visual diary for the human experience. From recording sounds of her niece’s heartbeat within her sister’s womb, filming samples of her blood under a microscope, to making cyanotypes of her own hair. There is an exploration of macro and micro motifs as well as bringing the private space into the public sphere through installation. Lizzie's practice uses the body as a site of inquiry. From this exploration she uses domestic paraphernalia which is charged with information that she then abstracts through material play, such as casting and installation. She uses "the everyday" to employ notions of time, place, temporality and inhabiting space. Her works imply a presence and absence of the body through material poetics, expressing notions of ephemeral and liminal gestures. Through processes such as casting negative impressions in glass, plaster or latex she attempts to make impermanent actions permanent. Lizzie is inspired by artists such as Louise Bourgeois and Ana Mendieta that look at similar themes such as home, family, mortality, femininity and masculinity.
