1750 Iron mask used by the slave holders to stop captives eating the sugar cane.
The history of slavery is complex. It is full of contradictions and for every example of cruelty and evil there is one of bravery and kind endeavours. For every story of its abolition there are many about 21st century slaves in the sex industry or sweat shops. For all the freedom we now have and value there are still ties that bind.
Liz Boast Personal profile: My art is figurative and focuses on various aspects of the feminine. Recent travels abroad have influenced me and introduced new references which continue to develop in my work.
Since graduating as a mature student in 1997 I have set up a print-making studio at Parndon Mill, with facilities for both relief and intaglio printing. I also work in welded steel and paint.
I have shown my work in exhibitions locally, in London and abroad.
