Ernst
| For more than five years, Elizabeth Ernst has been photographing old toys which are torn, cracked or weathered due to neglect and time, creating unnerving portraits which reflect the artists exploration about the effects of aging on ones body. In her newest series, Tails from the Woods, Ernst continues working with toys from her childhood, creating fairytales about stuffed animals, gnomes and fairies who hide within the landscape, peering through the dense foliage. Finding inspiration from such notable stories as Thumbelina and The Ugly Duckling, Ernst introduces us to a group of animals living in mainstream society. In her tale, animals are both regal and ordinary, ominous and bashful, always protective of the children they encounter. Through these characters and their adventures, Ernst continues to address issues of identity, beauty and aging. |
