‘ PLAGUE’ (2023) explores notions of death, grief and loss through contemporary printmaking. Utilising peculiar insects in her compositions, Elizabeth lures the audience into her inner world as she grapples with the heaviness of grief. Employing distinctive mark making into her linocuts, she meticulously crafts these images to beautify the un-beautiful. The weight of these experiences is further emphasised through bold confessional style text that reads “HOLD ON”, “AND YET I PERSIST”, suggestive of the non linear process in ones bereavement. In a raw display of emotion, Elizabeth seeks connection and extends her care to the audience. ‘

Utilising confessional style text and subjects such as insects, floral bouquets and dried flora in her compositions, Elizabeth aims to normalise the process of grief and offer a quiet space of contemplation and healing for her audience.
