Cascade
2023 | mixed media on found paper
approximately 420 cm x 180 cm (14’ x 6’)
Elizabeth Gerdeman’s themes are natural phenomena and landscapes. She creates collages from abstract landscape elements with sections of sky and scenic spaces, putting the sheets together to form a speculative situation. She paints on found paper in Cascade and Constellation. Connections between the reference points in the collage are made by the viewers, which can lead to different future scenarios. Gerdeman often presents her works hanging freely or outdoors, so that they change with the movement of the air and the climate of the space. The works were created in response to Rebecca Solnit's “Dare we hope?” (2021) case for climate optimism in the Guardian.
