ELEANOR GLOVER<\/strong> is a story-teller working in 3 dimensions, mainly wood, acknowledged for over forty years for her idiosyncratic revelations of the human condition expressed through her art. Starting her career as assistant to the toy-maker Ron Fuller, she gained the respect of the legendary Sam Smith who wrote \u201cI love the rich simplicity of her treatment\u2019. Narrative elements and metaphor develop through the process of making, and influences are drawn from her own experiences, observations of life, poetry and literature<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
