Elizabeth Wiese's Arborescence Explores Body and Forest at Griffin Museum
At the Griffin Museum of Photography in Winchester, MA, Elizabeth Wiese showcased her project Arborescence during the Atelier 40 Exhibition. This series intricately blends landscapes, self-portraiture, and multiple exposures to delve into the connection between the human body and nature. A conceptual photographer and former dancer, Wiese collaborates with trees, reflecting on themes of memory, identity, and location. Her works, including Farouche (2025) and Woodcut (2025), were captured in Duxbury, MA, Stowe, VT, and Shrewsbury, MA. Wiese holds a BA in Economics from Colby College and has studied at Parsons School of Design in both New York and Paris. She has exhibited at various venues, including Panopticon Gallery and has earned the Juror’s Award at Photoplace Gallery. In 2024, she was chosen for the PRC Exposure exhibition.
