Elisabeth
composes
her
paintings
from
textile,
mostly
silk
without
any
further
additions.
This
allows for
evoking
powerful
color and
form
effects.
| Creating
textile
paintings
is a
complex,
rarely
applied
technique
in the
visual
arts.
 |
 |
The
technique
invites
both
figurative
and
non-figurative
applications.
The
transparency
of silk
allows
for
infinite
variation
in
shades
of
color,
even
over
quite
small
surfaces. |
In
addition,
the
artist
can use
the
changeant
character
of silk
(due to
differently
tinged
warp and
weft)
to evoke
dynamic
color
changes,
dependent
on the
observer's
viewpoint.
However,
Elisabeth
exploits
these
and
other
material
affordances
exclusively
in the
service
of the
artistic
purpose,
the
expressive
force of
the
image.
