About the Item
Collective Liberation is comprised of a photograph, acrylic paint and resin. The base materials for the work are a wooden paneled canvas that supports the adhesion of a rolled photographic canvas, a fine art photography print. The canvas print is adhered to the wood using a clear acrylic varnish. Acrylic Paint is added along with resin. This specific piece of art was physically put together in an outdoor studio and there was moisture during the drying process for the resin, as a result it dried with a foggy, matte finish instead of the typical glossy look. I added clear spray paint to make the original work come through in the most vibrant way possible, later adding more colors and textures during a recent exhibition in Brooklyn, NY.
The inspiration for this piece comes from the concept of community, power in numbers, and our collective fight for freedom. Through connection with others, we find and experience freedom and liberation. This image was captured during my first nude women’s open call photoshoot in October 2019 in Manhattan, New York. It was a rainy and cold day, and these were the women who endured the weather and who showed up to get naked for this image and for a day of fun, bonding and mystery at a secret part of a public park in upper manhattan. The experience of shooting, modeling and creating the art is cathartic for both the subjects and for myself as the artist.

Elsa Marie Keefe
Elsa is a visual artist based in Brooklyn, NY. Her work explores the nude human figure, body-mind connection, concepts of beauty, freedom, and our relationship to the natural world. Her images and exhibitions examine human nature, the boundaries of innocence versus sexuality, and human being’s relationship with mother earth. She communicates through experimentation with color, light, place, space, time, paint, words, collage, sound, people, video and performance. Creating art and being naked in nature is her therapy. She grew up on the north shore of Boston, spending holiday time with her family in places of extreme beauty around the world where oftentimes clothing was not obligatory. Elsa photographs humans in the natural elements, in spaces void of manmade objects to create a timeless visual landscape. Photography is the backbone of her work. However, she also creates large scale mixed media pieces with her images that are comprised of digital photographs printed on canvas, pasted on a wooden panel, covered with leaves, bones, flowers, crystals and other natural objects, and finally coated and cemented in resin.

- We Are The EarthBy Elsa Marie KeefeLocated in Brooklyn, NYWe are the Earth is comprised of a photograph, acrylic paint, found objects in nature (bones, leaves, flowers, stones, crystals) and resin. The base materials for the work consist of a wooden paneled canvas that provides the platform for the adhesion of a rolled photographic canvas, a fine art photography print. The canvas print, in this case a double exposure digital photograph, is adhered to the wood using a clear acrylic varnish. Acrylic Paint is added along with the objects that I found in nature, which are all placed in a careful and meticulous fashion, finally cemented in resin. This specific piece of art was my first large scale piece of its kind, created in my studio in Brooklyn in 2019. This piece was inspired by the colors of my travels, the deserts, trees, mountains and sunsets. The human depicted is myself, it is a self-portrait captured in Great Sand Dunes...Category
