Artist Statement for Elizabeth Frank
|
|
|
Each of my pieces begins with fallen aspen branches or reclaimed wood. I make at least one trip to the mountains annually to gather the aspen that I will use over the course of the year. I view this journey as a pilgrimage. Whenever I return to the aspen forest to collect wood I am awed by the strength and the delicacy of the natural world. I try to incorporate these observations into my work. In my studio I combine the aspen with broken, discarded and distressed materials. I use found materials as visual metaphors, often choosing objects which speak to me of decay and resurrection, cultural trends, history and myth. Through the combination of organic and found elements I allude to the human impact upon the environment, the transience of earthly things, and the process of change.
