My body of work utilizes a patchwork of memories to create eccentric narratives for viewers to interpret. I find comfort in the past and often revert to its media as the subject matter of my work. It allows me to live in an “ignorance is bliss” mindset that reveals an awkward childhood with bright colors and pop culture references of the 2000’s. By rewriting memories and using skewed imagery, my art conveys feelings of discomfort that’s emphasized through over-saturated imagery.
Printmaking, painting, soft sculpture, and stop motion allows me to build a diverse body of work that spikes curiosity in the viewer. By creating these works, I strive to awaken similar memories in the viewer and share the experience of reminiscing on the discomfort of growing up while confronting the past through the eyes of an adult.
Elizabeth Gregory creates work that mixes unsettling undertones with bright and nostalgic colors that provide a blast from the past for her viewers to experience. By working with printmaking, painting, soft sculpture, and stop motion, Gregory constructs an expansive and immersive portfolio of work. In the future, she plans to continue the story she is telling by creating a larger, stranger body of work.
