About

Liam Brooks is a Cornwall-based artist whose practice explores themes of the unknown, the ephemeral, and what if? Working primarily with large-scale sculpture and installation, Brooks' work is rooted in a process driven, research focused approach. His work often examines the relationship between the body, space, and time, with a strong emphasis on the audience's experience.

In his own words, “I use myself as a representation of the audience when developing my work, seeking to understand how others will engage with it not only in terms of its visual impact but also in relation to the deeper ideas it explores. The audience is central to my process; without them, the work would simply exist as objects in space. It is through the audience's engagement that meaningful dialogues emerge.”

Brooks' approach is inherently research-led, as he believes in exploring multiple facets of a subject matter to strengthen the overall concept of the work. “This exploration process often leads to a deeper development of the work in unexpected ways. By sharing elements of this process, I invite the audience to connect more closely with my thinking, offering insight into the evolution of the piece."
