STATEMENT

My name is Elizabeth Wood and I live in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. My art work explores the underlying, personal narratives that share a universality of themes: vulnerability, loss, resilience, and hope.

My art practice is influenced by my childhood experience as an orphan navigating an unstable world shaped by powerful emotions such as: grief, loneliness, fear and hope.

In my work, which is predominately collage as well as installation, I seek to express the experience of vulnerability with the hope of building a shared awareness of and empathy for others.

I studied visual art at the Emily Carr University of Art and Design and in the Visual Arts program at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia.
