Libby Bove's multidisciplinary work is centred around folk customs and magical practices, with a goal of repositioning them at the forefront of daily life. Based in South West England, she draws on traditional craft processes and archival methodologies to “weave plausibility into constructed myths.” Bove transposes ancient customs, traditions and rituals into incongruous contemporary settings. A central theme within her practice is “roadside magic,” an imagined construct where plant knowledge, magic and ritual play essential roles in the repair and maintenance of vehicles. The Museum of Roadside Magic (2024) is a travelling archive which holds an extensive collection of artefacts, costumes and photographs. It displays a great breadth of roadlore practices including Gasket Dancing, Pipe Dressing, Diesel Clapping and the mysterious Brydes of Tacho.
