Liverpool Plinth

[3][4] Dimensions: 9’9”(h)x4’6”(w) 525(h)x137(w)cm Created: 2014[6] A suspended, bright gold Invacar which aims to act as a catalyst for discussion and debate on how disabled people are currently viewed and considered within contemporary society, including that of religion and faith.

So in this confusion of being unable to make a choice we feel this pain, black and blue, unaware of the bright side of the options or opportunities that lie before us in either direction.

Trapped by authentic sea plastic and detritus collected from UK shores, this sculptural installation presents a striking image of our global marine problem and the real concern we must have of protecting animals.

[13] Dimensions: 175(h)x75(w)x155(d)cm Jimmy was initially born in 2013 when Bebbington created Horse Power – a permanent sculpture commissioned by the Canal & River Trust for the National Waterways Museum in Ellesmere Port.

[16] The winning sculpture, 2400, is created solely by hand knitting and is an emblem of the laboured approach of those working on Liverpool’s ships, docks and throughout the slave trade.

The sculpture takes an industrial material, backer rod, out of its restricted and internal environment and manipulates it, through knitting, to provide it with a new context.
