Elizabeth Atherton's practice investigates the relationship between subjective and objective time; questioning the contrast between the human experience of time and its scientific measurement. Her work centres around timed, abstract mark making to produce a ‘whole’, and the subsequent systematic division of that drawing based on the length of time spent.
Elizabeth has lived and worked in Manchester since graduating in 2011. She set up MidConversation collective who were commissioned by MOSI, Quarry Bank Mill and heritage institutions around the North West. Elizabeth was shortlisted for the Ruskin drawing prize in 2012. She is currently a postgraduate student at Manchester School of Art.
