Eternal [sub specie aeternitatis]

2020

About the Item

Eternal is comprised of a photograph, acrylic paint, found objects in nature (bones, leaves, flowers, stones, crystals, sand) 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 is adhered to the wood using a clear acrylic varnish. Acrylic Paint is added along with the objects that I found in nature, including many bones I found in California, Colorado and New Mexico, which are all meticulously placed, finally cemented in resin. This piece of art was photographed in 2018 and physically put together in 2020. This work is inspired by the inherent connection between humans and nature. We are all one. I hope the viewer will be inspired to continually respect oneself, fellow humans, and planet earth. I chose digital photography and mixed media in order to accurately represent the truth and beauty of our collective consciousness and shared visual landscape. This image is a self-portrait captured in the hills of northern California near a special hot springs that I have been visiting my entire life with my family. The surface of the earth pictured here beneath my skin is formed by layers of salt that accumulated over time in a field filled with bones and artifacts from times past.

  • We Are The Earth
    By Elsa Marie Keefe
    Located in Brooklyn, NY
    We 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...

  • Woman Clothed with the Sun
    Located in Purling, NY
    My medium is digital collage, and my process involves photographing women in studio, allowing them complete autonomy in their poses. I then photograph paintings in museums and weave together the ideal elements from Old Master paintings to suit each woman. This work addresses religious art in the context of a canon of art history that expunges women and a religious history that subjugates women. This series depicts forgotten women martyrs and leaders, and challenge the erasure of goddesses by the power structures of the Patriarchy and the monotheism that have dominated Western Civilization. The work is an archival pigment print with applied gold leaf in an antique porcelain frame.
