About the Item
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 National Park. The work is abstract, the intention is for the subjectivity to stand out, for the meaning to be different for each viewer, just as the piece itself can hang in any direction. The composited images were taken in Colorado in 2018 and the mixed media work was created in 2019.

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.
