Elizabeth Jordan

I’m interested in weird phrases and names; photographing dead things, fairy tales; horror films from the fifties and sixties; ghost stories; animals, birds and insects behaving like people; fables; store mannequins; odd found objects, religious symbols, and homemade signs. I am an eyewitness to the world. I’ve created sculptures of creatures that have a request: please pay attention to their gestures, positions, cutsand scars. Through them they portray animals living in a human world. Their appearance tells of how their souls ultimately surrender to the inevitable, and why their stories may or may not have a happy ending.
