‘Lizzie: Striding Along’ was installed at the National Fairground & Circus Archive, due to Lizzie’s personal connection with Sheffield – the fairground she was associated with, Sedgwick’s, wintered in Sheffield – and the visual language is inspired by the military and advertisement posters of World War One. Much of what is known about Lizzie has been sourced from The World’s Fair newspaper and pieced together: as far as I am aware no descendants of Lizzie ever existed.
