Transient Shadows
Term: March 5 - 29, 2024
Artist: Elizabeth Wood
In this exhibition, Transient Shadows, Elizabeth explored the outlines of figures standing in solitary union with the moon. Each work was intended to capture a momentary portrait of the individual through the shape and form of the shadow they cast in relation to the moon. Both shadow and moonlight are ephemeral and transitory, and therefore 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.
