Steve Dilworth

Steve Dilworth was born in Yorkshire in 1949 and studied sculpture at Maidstone College of Art.

Dilworth is known for his use of 'once living and found material, often held inside outer forms of wood, bone, stone and bronze.

These are elements gathered at a particular time and place, in an exacting way that sit right on an edge between concept and material, the physical and metaphysical.

Notable public sculpture includes Walrus (1996) Ferens Art Gallery, Kingston Upon Hull, Ark (2000-2003) King's Place, London, Venus Stone (2007) and Claw (2006) commissioned by the Cass Sculpture Foundation,[3][4] Case (2007) at the University of Aberdeen, Scotland and Fish Box (1990), Inverness Museum and Art Gallery, formerly part of the Scottish Arts Council Collection.

One of Dilworth's most important works, the Hanging Figure (1978-79) was purchased by the Richard Harris Collection, Chicago, USA in 2011.
