ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Anthropologists view the middle stage of rites of passage as a liminal period between one state and another. Here the subject simultaneously contains elements of both its previous and subsequent forms but is identified as neither. I am interested in creating an installation that is concurrently destructive and constructive. I do this by using materials that are either offcuts, found or second hand and then deconstruct them to reconstruct them into a different form. During rites of passage there is an internal, immediate change in status, whereas the external appearance initially remains the same and develops at a slower pace. Similarly, in my practice I replicate this significant and opposing relationship between the interior and exterior by only burning the underside of the materials. This action not only ruins the integrity of the wood, enabling some pre-selected pieces to intentionally break, but it is also symbolic of change, cleansing and rebirth into something new

Elizabeth-Anne Curistan is the recipient of the ‘Catalyst Arts Emerging Artist Award’, the ‘Flax Art Studios Graduate Award’ and has been included in the ‘AxisWeb MAstars of 2014’ and shortlisted for 'Saatchi Art New Sensations 2014'. Her work takes on a multi-disciplined approach from sculpture and installation to video and photography. Currently, through the construction of large room installations, her work is documenting the intermediate stage during rites of passage where the subject simultaneously contains elements of both its previous and subsequent forms but is identified as neither. She further explores this notion by using materials that are found, bought or second hand and then deconstructs them from their previous form to reconstruct them into something new. By burning only the underside of the materials she is able to further signify the opposing relationship between the interior and exterior self during rites of passage, as this action is symbolic of change, cleansing and rebirth into something new.
