Elizabeth Anderson

Anderson produces an art of immediacy and movement. Candid snapshots and compositions of the play of light are expressed through a brief encounter of passing time. Anderson focuses on urban scenes, images that appear to be flashes of memories, walking through lonely streets. A glance at a residents garden, reflections in the windows of a house and the glare of a street light falling upon its surroundings. The ambiguous choice of imagery leaves an unsettling doubt about the tone of the scene; it may be an image reminiscent of family vacations besides an intentional absence which seemingly haunts the scene. This balance creates a strong sense of uncertainty and recreates the same specious quality as memory. In turn, the viewer is left to interpret a space made equivocal through compositional tensions and pleasing handlings of light and tone.
