Training

Giblin trained under Antony Gormley and Peter Randall-Page at Brighton Polytechnic (1982–86) and at the Chelsea College of Arts (1989–93). From 1990 to 1994 she was on the Secondary Education Advisory Group within the Design Council, London. She was elected Associate of the Royal British Society of Sculptors in 2010 and was elected a full Member in 2014.[citation needed]

Awards

Giblin was selected as the visual artist to represent the UK at the G7 of Art, part of a larger G7 of Culture in Florence, Italy.[citation needed]

Olympians project

This project aimed to record the physiques of five British Olympians in 2011. Each subject body-cast also had a series of surface decorations pertinent to their lives. Part of the profits was donated to the Headfirst charity, which funds research into brain injuries. This project led Giblin to be called[by whom?] "one of the world's leading body cast sculptors".[2]

The body-casts weigh around 10 kg and must be worn for an hour whilst setting.[3]

The chosen subjects were:[citation needed]

Living Legends project

This work was produced for exhibition at Gallery Different in London November 2014. The exhibition private view was attended by Michael Portillo, Heather Mills, Duncan Goodhew and Reuben Richards.[citation needed]

War veterans project

This is an exercise in "historical memory": casting the hands and body parts of British Military personnel who have served in the many wars post World War One. The subjects include the artist's brother, Brigadier John McIntosh, who served in Bosnia. The project is planned to be exhibited until November 2018, the centenary of the last day of World War One, having begun on the centenary of the start of the war.[4]
