About The Artwork

My work is inspired by the eternal nature of reality. This piece is part of a larger series, inspired by the concept, "we are the earth, born wild.” Sub Specie Aeternitatis (from the perspective of the eternal) is the overarching theme of the series. I took the image of myself lying down in the salt fields near Wilbur hot springs in northern California a few years ago. Then, I printed the image on a rolled canvas and adhered it to a wooden panel / canvas. Next, I placed bones, skulls, a snake skin, crystals, and rocks that I have found throughout my lifetime over the image. I added some sand and metallic paint, then coated the entire piece with about two gallons of resin to seal everything in place for hundreds if not thousands of years to come. I hope that the viewer will feel a sense of peaceful empowerment when looking at this work. My intention is to capture and reveal eternal visuals and concepts; the omnipresent connection between humans and nature. I choose these subjects (human / nature) for this piece and for all of my works, as it has been informed by my wild upbringing and native visions of our world. I'm looking forward to and also enjoying the revolution, awaiting the day where so many of us return to the land.

Elsa Marie Keefe is an artist who explores body positivity through photography, mixed media collage, and book-making. Her complete immersion into the nudist lifestyle has shaped her creative practice. She integrates the figure into nature to comment on significant issues such as sexuality, societal oppression, spirituality, and the sublime. The large-scale pieces are rich in texture and vulnerability. By incorporating natural elements back into the artwork, such as bones, flora, crystals, and dirt, her process emphasizes the cyclical nature of our time here on Earth. Her work has been exhibited nationally and across the boroughs of New York City, including The Blue Gallery, New York; The Invisible Dog Art Center, Brooklyn; Ziome, Miami; and Ophelia’s in Denver, Colorado. She has been featured at Miami Basel, The Other Art Fair, SOHO House, and The Southampton History Museum. Recent interviews with the artist were broadcasted on TNT Radio and available to read on Northshore Magazine and Saatchi Art Blog. The three books published by Elsa are titled Born Wild, Delirium, and Salvation. Blending her commercial and personal fine art practices, Elsa partners with people and organizations to promote healthy naturist lifestyles. She facilitates women’s healing circles and collaborative photographic experiences alongside her art. Elsa Marie Keefe is based between Boston and the Hudson Valley of New York State and is available for conversation, collaboration, and commissions.
