Ava Liberace (b. 2003) is a London-based visual artist working at the fusion between figure and landscape drawing. Presenting internationally across residencies, national conferences, and collaborative exhibitions, she has shown across galleries in London, UK; NYC, NY; Alexandria, Virginia, and San Francisco, California. Graduating with a BA in both biology and studio art at Wesleyan University, she looks towards anatomy and decomposition to inform her focus on the body’s relationship with it's environment. 

As a process of translation, the work uses classical techniques of drawing to mold landscapes + bodies into vessels for mirrored biological processes; to view decomposition as a process of renewal;

to unearth
 
how dead bodies are held, 

how dirt melts, molted
 
with the bake of first sun, 

how bog rosemary branches bear banters and 

embrace its memory in graves green, ochre
 
the way an apple core holds a bite, 

and brings its teeth to thistle seed.
