Elisabeth Dzuricsko

Artist Statement

Dzuricsko has several recurring themes. These themes support various stories both remembered and invented. Some repeated images: rabbits, dinosaurs, furniture, and lab coats. Rabbits recall former students and friends. Dinosaurs remind the artist that she has been on earth for some time. Furniture evokes scenes and environments. What happens when the living room is imagined differently? Is there a place of importance? The work with lab coats derives not just from the daily quandary of what to wear, but the uniform of experimentation.

The security envelopes have been a current obsession. Materials have their own weight. Dzuricsko has collected envelopes from the finance office as well as her own mailings. Initially it was the variety of patterns that attracted. The pattern both hides and dresses up the inside personal information. It is a mode of protection.

Drawing, printmaking, collage, ceramics, installations, photoshop, performance and even some video, have found their ways into her practice.
