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.
