Elise's concerns are with paint and the processes involved in its complex
language. The artist maintains that the subject matter evolves from the painterly
framework, a device to construct the paintings. Nevertheless. the artist insists
that the actual ‘subject’ of her painting is the relationship
between order and chaos when dealing with an overload of marks made on the
canvas and that the essence of the work reveals itself through the process
of making rather than the content and any implied narratives.
By layering paint in a chaotic, quasi-abstract fashion; pouring, splashing
and smearing,the surface builds in a random manner.The selected imagery is
varied and depends purely on the abstract shapes made from the paint pours
therefore is arbitary to the process itself. The viewer is drawn to the complex
surface of the painting and how it is made. The ‘subject’ of the
work is a journey into the language of paint - the process and balance - for
Elise they reflect the way she sees the world, seeking for balance within
a calamity of imagery and communicative processes.
