Artist Statement:
Mickelsen, Elsa Solveig, b.
1962, Fargo, ND - American
photographer, painter,
ceramicist, sculptor.
My work is a constant
experimentation with new
materials, processes and
ideas. I strive to bring
small details and concepts of
daily life to the sharper
focus. My pieces often
resonate with themes of a
political or sociological
nature, placing meaning in my
work is very important to me.
My studio usually contains
several works in process
concurrently; often pieces get
reviewed and reworked,
sometimes over extended
periods of time. I feel this
synergistic energy helps me
cultivate creativity and
solidify ideas. I tend to keep
a highly critical eye on my
work, for better or worse.
Sometimes the largest
challenge for me is making
that declaration… “it’s done”.
I love learning about and
reading about art history and
am constantly inspired by the
art and artists of the modern
period. I enjoy creating
homage works, these are pieces
that reinterpret the style of
modern masters in my own way.
I also find inspiration
everywhere around me; from
people, to Mother Nature, or
perhaps even a garbage
dumpster. I also adore irony.
Some of my favorite media are:
acrylics, oils, inks,
encaustic, photography,
collage, assemblage, ceramics,
sculpture, ...
