Eleanor Bedlow
#6 Squash and Stretch
Our latest ROCK PAPER SCISSORS activity sheet has been devised by Eleanor Bedlow. Don’t worry about making your drawings look like the real thing - this activity is about expanding your mind to squash and stretch objects beyond recognition!
Eleanor Bedlow creates a sculptural play area of
precarious mixed media artworks. The drawings and
sculptures in her work inform each other. Neither
just human stand-ins nor simply alien forms, her
structures are suspended in balance not only in
a physical sense, but also in their existence as
inanimate anthropomorphic forms. Eleanor studied
drawing at The Prince’s Drawing School 2008 and
completed the studio painting programme at the Turps
Art School in 2018.
