About Elizabeth KeithlineArtist Elizabeth Keithline was intrigued by the idea of creating a site-specific installation in a safe because it prompted her to think about the word. She noted that it is quite an unusual time to focus on the topic of safe-ty, and in so doing, she determined that if she was going to think about that word, then, during a time when some do not feel so safe, there should at least be joy in it. She hopes for better times ahead.
Keithline’s work often focuses on human self-extension and particularly, on how far an abstraction can go. Weaving with wire, an idea that originated in her mind and came out of her hands in 1996, continues to manifest itself in traced shadow paintings of woven wire that she hopes travel home in the minds of each of her viewers. Keithline has shown widely in the United States including solo shows at the Peabody Essex Museum, Jane Street Art Center, ChaShaMa NYC, the Danforth Museum, the Newport Art Museum, the Waiting Room in New Orleans, Blue Star Contemporary in San Antonio, ArtPrize Grand Rapids, Real Art Ways and Umass Amherst. Doing business as Wheel Arts Administration, she has curated exhibitions for Mark Miller Gallery, SPRING/BREAK Art Show, Boxo Projects NY, Mobius Boston and Wheaton College, among others. She has written for Sculpture Magazine, Public Art Review, Art New England and the Americans For the Arts. Featured Piece Exhibiting at Bank Art Gallery |
