About the work Liz Larner took this photograph of her inscription on the base of A hard line to bend – the eponymous work in her exhibition at Camden Art Centre. It reimagines the legendary female figure Lilith who, according to the medieval text The Alphabet of Ben Sira was created from the earth as an equal to Adam (unlike Eve who was formed from his rib). In an act of self-determination, she chose to leave the Garden of Eden rather than accept subordination. With roots in ancient Mesopotamian traditions and associated narratives in the Hebrew bible, Talmudic and later Kabbalistic literature, Lilith belongs to a wider family of mythological beings associated with female autonomy, erotic independence, dream, and the night. Initially Larner inscribed the title Lilith in the Morphic Field but later revised it, scoring through the text and adding A hard line to bend. Both the title of the newly commissioned sculpture and the exhibition, it alludes to the many ways Larner’s practice counters or pushes against predetermined ideas, values and definitions. About the artist Liz Larner (b. 1960, Sacramento, California) lives in Bellingham, WA. Internationally acclaimed for her materially adventurous and conceptually driven sculptural practice, often interrogating form, surface, spatial dynamics, and the body’s relation to matter, Larner’s use of diverse materials – resin, metals, stone, ceramics, and even bacterial cultures – has placed her at the forefront of post-minimal and feminist approaches to sculpture. Larner has exhibited widely at prestigious institutions, including Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Art Institute of Chicago; Aspen Art Museum, Colorado; Museum of Applied Arts, Vienna; Orange County Museum of Art, California; Vancouver Art Gallery, Canada; and Kunsthalle Basel, Switzerland. One of her most significant solo exhibitions, Don’t Put It Back Like It Was, was held at the Walker Art Center and SculptureCenter in 2022, offering a comprehensive survey of her career. A recipient of numerous accolades, including a Guggenheim Fellowship and the Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship, Larner continues to influence contemporary sculpture with her fearless experimentation and intellectual rigour. Larner is represented by Regen Projects, Galerie Max Hetzler, Anton Kern, and The Modern Institute. Her work is represented in the collections of a number of internationally renowned institutions, including: Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; SFMoMA, San Francisco; Art Institute of Chicago; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; Dallas Museum of Art; Hirshhorn Museum, Washington, D.C.; Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, D.C.; MAK-Austrian Museum of Applied Arts, Vienna; Fonds national d’art contemporain, Puteaux; Kunsthaus Zürich; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; among others.
