Elisabeth Higgins O’Connor builds Shantytown Fairytale Creatures: What’s your Style?
See more at ww2.kqed.org/artschool/
Elisabeth Higgins O'Connor's creates poignant, larger-than-life figures that are seemingly cobbled together with reused scrap materials including; wood, textiles and newspaper. Like marginalized creatures who are attempting to overcome adversity, her sculptures evoke empathy and amazement with their perceived resiliency, towering stature and patchwork bodies. While these figures are utterly unusual, the use of everyday materials can make them feel familiar and domestic.

Loving the What's your style series so incredibly much! It gives us all a look into the inspiration and thinking of these artists, which is invaluable when it comes to demystifying creativity. Thanks for the phenomenal work, y'all. Can't wait to see the next ones (and share them with my students)!
