About Elizabeth Schowachert
Statement:
Connecting is to link or to be linked to; join; fasten.
Our lives are made up in part by our connections. Without connections we would literally be alone, living a singular life –
it would be akin to living in nothingness.
Connections can be fleeting or painful to have or keep. They can also bring joy, happiness and contribute a more fulfilled
life.
• Making connections can be hard to maintain; with others or with one’s self.
• They can be deep or shallow and they can ebb and flow with the people in our lives over time.
• They are needed and wanted by most.
• They need trust, respect and empathy in order to be maintained or to grow.
My intention with my art/paintings is to explore the most significant connections in my life, those that have influenced
me and made the deepest impressions.
Cultural connections have had a significant impact on my life, my way of thinking, the way I choose to live and my ideas about myself. My experiences in Asia especially have influenced my ideas about myself, who I am and how I live my life.
In my current body of work, “The Art of Tools” I am exploring the relationship to line, form and shapes through the use of a wide array of handmade tools.
