Liz Glynn creates sculpture, large-scale installations, and performances using epic historical narratives, cultural artifacts, and monumental architecture to explore the potential for change in the present tense. Her work mines the past to contemplate the present and model possible futures. This practice functions as a form of materialist philosophy: activating objects through performance, changing materials to trace shifts in cultural value, and embodying the rise and fall of empires through cycles of actions and object production. Fundamentally, her work considers what it means to make objects and occupy a human body in the face of technological acceleration.
