Elizabeth Palmer Leicestershire, United Kingdom
I am a multi media visual artist, studying a masters degree in Fine Art at Derby University. My work typically splits between my personal painting practice and the sculptural practice I pursue through my university work at bachelors and masters level.
My painting practice largely features women as central figures, with elements of gore and viscera woven into the feminine form. They embellish women's connection to nature and to themselves on a visceral level, attempting to highlight the beauty in our collective destruction that is so prevalent in modern and historical society.
My sculptural practice is fuelled by dystopia and post-apocalyptic themes. I study theory and fiction to create dystopian new future narratives that force viewers to reflect on the current state of the world and how we should proceed into the future.
