ALT Faith Bebbington gained a sculpture degree from Winchester College of Art, and a PGCE from Liverpool John Moores University, establishing her studio in Liverpool in 1993. Her sculptural practice initially stemmed from having cerebral palsy, a disability that made her curious about how humans and animals move. She creates dynamic, public sculptures re-using a range of recycled materials, including thousands of plastic milk bottles.
