Elizabeth Sher: Symbols, Language, and Resilience in Mixed Media
Artist Elizabeth Sher crafts pieces that merge symbols, language, and various materials to provoke contemplation. Her artistic approach encompasses painting, photography, digital techniques, and film, initiating with tangible components like rope and text. The series 'Mark My Words' conveys anxiety through visual representations of words, whereas 'Spiraling Out of Control' showcases spirals evolving from rope into wire. Since 2008, her explorations frequently commence during artist residencies abroad, later transforming into larger works in her Oakland studio. Sher's art delves into themes of feminism, ecology, healthy aging, and the persistence of voice, often infused with humor. Key works include 'Drawing Wall,' 'Spiral Maquette,' 'Some Things I Have Not Done Yet,' and 'Learn From History.' Stay updated by following her on Facebook and Instagram.
