Elizabeth Jordan United Kingdom
I create artwork that explores materiality, scale and perception. Photography, sculpture and light are my primary mediums.
I create Minumental artwork that explores how humans perceive extremes of scale.
'Minumental: working with small things to create something that is monumental in feeling or scale.'
The work uses photography, sculpture and light. All works play with perception allowing viewers to imagine and create alternative readings of space. The works are site specific and have existed in unusual architectural spaces; medieval vaults, an 18th century folly, mansions and a yurt.

Prisms have played a crucial role in our understanding of the universe as it is through measuring spectrums of light, which prisms make visible, that we are able to understand about the chemical compositions, temperatures, pressures and motions of distant...
