LIZZIE RIDOUT MA(RCA)
Communication Art & Design

'I often wonder why I write. It's not simply to create beautiful objects or entertaining stories. It's an activity I seem to need in order to stay alive. I feel terrible when I'm not doing it. It's not that writing brings me a lot of pleasure - but
not doing it is worse.'
Paul Auster, The Red Notebook

The majority of Lizzie Ridout ’s work stems from a desire to discover: a fact, a story, an object, an image, a ritual, a process, a history. These discoveries inform projects that borrow working methods from graphic design, illustration and fine art. She believes that the form of any one outcome should be suggested by the theme or idea at its heart.

Re-current subjects in Lizzie’s work relate to:
The domestic, the everyday, the unseen, the forgotten, the lost, negatives and reverses, museums, collections and archives, memory - both personal and collective,
copies and likenesses and repetition, small things, huge things, lists, and words, glorious words.

Lizzie completed a Foundation Diploma in Art & Design at Bath College before going on to study for a BA(Hons) in Graphic Design at Falmouth College of Art in Cornwall in 1997, for which she received a First Class Honours. In 2002 she graduated from the Royal College of Art, London with a Masters in Communication Art & Design. In February 2007 Lizzie completed the Pearson Creative Research Fellowship at the British Library in London.

She is currently based in Cornwall where she continues her own work and is a graphics and illustration lecturer at the University of Plymouth and at University College Falmouth. She works independently and to commission.
