Liverpool Sculpture Prize 2025

The winner of the 2025 Liverpool Sculpture Prize is ‘Laminae’ by Wirral based artist Benjamin Stephenson.

For the Liverpool Sculpture Prize, Stephenson presents a cylindrical sculpture formed from layers of rammed earth. With a hollow core that is almost impossible to see into, the work evokes mystery and interiority. Monumental yet impermanent, the sculpture speaks to cycles of time, erosion, and regeneration – echoing both ancient forms and urgent contemporary concerns. Situated at Liverpool Parish Church, it invites reflection on the material histories that shape place and identity.

‘Laminae‘ is installed at the Plinth on Liverpool Parish Church for twelve months.
