Elizabeth’s personal experiences inform an auto-biographical practice which is interwoven with social, political and scientific research. Elizabeth’s practice explores gender and power dynamics from a heterosexual woman’s perspective. Recently it has evolved to look specifically at issues surrounding power roles in sexual politics. Sexism and the repercussions of a patriarchal society is communicated in the work, not just for its cathartic qualities but as a way to educate and also to show solidarity with other women. Her current exhibition SKEWER is based in research on sexual violence, defence mechanism’s in nature and imagined sci-fi mutations.
