Laura Ford’s sculptures present a complex interplay between vulnerability and menace. She uses humor and an acute observation of the human condition to engage with wider social and political issues

Her sculptures are faithful representations of fantasy with sometimes bitter sweet and menacing qualities mixed with tenderness. She uses humor 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 realize her work including, drawing, painting, performance, and set design, and has increasingly taken on the challenge of public art alongside museum and gallery shows. 'Ford provides us with acutely graphic renditions of human emotion, mental and physical. Her imagery is all about remembering and giving memory clarity.'
