Something's Out There Over the Horizon, Out the Coffee Shop Window

Elizabeth Scoffin

"My practice centres around the idea of documentation, working with imagery from memory and sketches. Primarily, I use motifs associated with still life painting. I place objects on tables, or in a kind of non-space (often singling out isolated objects) and consider their existence and how I can form a narrative from that object. The exact location is not what interests me about the space, instead I focus my artistic choices on things more abstract. I recount my imagery often from memory or studies of a place in my past and bring them into the present, into my paintings. Of course, in life, recounts of thoughts are often hazy, so I aim for this in my recreations. Colours are imperfect, perspectives inaccurate." - Elizabeth Scoffin.
