“Tea Party for Three Wives” takes a look at the role of women in the home in the 1950’s and how some attitudes have changed while others remain. This collage draws on adverts from 1950's women's magazines - the words have been manipulated and so invite the viewer to reflect on the position of women in today’s society. Growing up in the 1960’s, the artist is well placed to question why so much energy is needed to hold down home and work, and why getting the right balance is still a challenge.
The process to achieve the final pieces is a long journey from the original idea searching through 1950's magazines to find the source material to build a collage of words and images. The collages are then hand painted with wash and paint pens to add colour and detail imitating the original feel of printed magazines. The finished collages are scanned, enlarged and produced as digital Giclée prints on fine art paper in editions of only 25 copies. The final but most labour intensive of the process is adding the thousands of crystals, gold and silver leaf, lacquer and metallic paint. The resulting art pieces are colourful, textural and vibrant with a strong message.
The strength of the message is important but with these prints Elizabeth has still created art that is pleasurable to look at with obsessive attention to detail and perfect execution.
