Biography
Painting remains her primary medium of expression, offering freedom and flexibility to navigate her experiences and emotions in life. Her early explorations centred on light and shadow, capturing fleeting moments of overlooked beauty within oil paintings, inspired her to begin a discourse with her own personal shadows. It was through her investigation of a silver spoon that she was able to shift toward a more conceptual interrogation of form, using the spoon as a metaphor for the human body and psychology within societal constructs. By ma-nipulating its shape, she confronted personal vulnerabilities and experiences of body dysmorphia within broader societal expectations.
Drawing on readings from Susan Sontag and Elaine Scarry on women, beauty and justice, her current work explores the female gaze and experience. Through the mirror as a ready-made and symbol for identity and reflection, Elisabeth interweaves the exploration of three-dimensionality with a visceral reflection on the psychological and physical realities of womanhood.
