Transient Shadows
Term: March 5 - 29, 2024
Artist: Elizabeth Wood
In this exhibition Transient Shadows, I explore the outlines of figures as they stand in a solitary union with the moon. Each work is intended to capture a momentary portrait of the individual by the shape and form of the shadow it casts in relation to the moon. Both shadows and moonlight are ephemeral and transitory and as a result, rich with the potential to capture emotion and mood. The moon has long been a muse for artists throughout history. This exhibition was inspired by the series: One Hundred Aspects of the Moon by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi.
Elizabeth Wood lives in British Columbia, Canada. In her work, which is predominantly photomontage, she explores the personal narratives that share a universality of themes: vulnerability, loss, resilience, and hope.
She studied visual art at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia. Her work has been exhibited in cities around the world including Portland, USA; St. Petersburg, Russia; Kyoto, Japan; and Berlin, Germany.
She has participated in a number of Artist Residencies including the Banff Centre for the Arts, Canada, The Vermont Studio Centre, USA and SPAR Art Residency in St. Petersburg, Russia.
