Dame Elisabeth Frink RA (1930-1993) was a British sculptor who had strong links with Dorset in the latter part of her life. Her artworks are world-renowned and Frink is also regarded as a strong female icon in the arts world. Throughout her career Frink investigated the ambiguities of human relationships, injustice and impermanence that also have such impact on the animal world and the earth. Using the forms of men, animals and birds, she sculpturally explored their shapes to convey emotion, vulnerability and aggression, creating powerful artworks that continue to generate debate.
