Liberty Hodes is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne whose work balances itself earnestly between live art, sculpture, image-making and video art. Their approach is distinctive and ideas-first, existing in a world comprised of intense interests in certain subjects such as: demolition, british folk culture, 20th century social history, model-making, light entertainment, British seaside holidays, comedic tropes, the everyday, the domestic, the past, naffness, walking, looking, labouring, fonts and more.

 A key feature in their work is a propelling desire to enact the purpose of inanimate objects; to embody and animate the familiar non-human. They are keenly interested in playing as a vocation.

Liberty has made many costumes, sculptures, props and sets out of cardboard, paint and paper mache. These include but are not limited to; a grit salt bin, an excavator, a victorian coastal bridge, a big horse, a rotating golden potato, a standing stone, a car, numerous model cities, Marge Simpson's kitchen, and more.
