The prestigious Turner Prize is awarded every year to an artist under 50, living, working or born in Britain for an outstanding exhibition in the previous twelve months. Elizabeth was nominated for her solo exhibition at BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, Gateshead in which she showed a triumvirate of video installations, including THE WOOLWORTHS CHOIR OF 1979. The work was devised while Elizabeth held the Arts Council England Helen Chadwick Fellowship at the Ruskin School of Drawing & Fine Art, St.John’s College, Oxford and the British School at Rome in 2010-11.

Elizabeth is a Lecturer in Fine Art at the University of Oxford and a Fellow at Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford. Earlier this year she was also one of the successful recipients of the Paul Hamlyn Foundation Awards for Artists.

“I am thrilled for Elizabeth, whose work demonstrates the vitality of contemporary art practice and its ability to address themes of enduring social significance. The seriousness and technical virtuosity of her film-making is exhilarating and I am delighted that her recent achievements have been recognised through the award of Britain’s most prestigious art prize.”
