In my artistic journey, I practice a distinctive layering style by intertwining mulberry fibers, paper, acrylic and handmade paper-paste to create textured works with visual richness. The resulting artworks emanate a childlike, nostalgic feel. It invites the observer to explore the interplay of materials and hues as if rediscovering the vibrant innocence of a youthful mind. Amidst the layers, the work becomes a contemplative space, inviting introspection and posing questions about the ever-evolving nature of identity. By peeling back these artistic layers, the pieces reveal both new and old versions of ourselves. It encourages a thoughtful exploration of the intricate layers that shape our personal narratives.This work gives me a unique perspective of what it means to be human as I seek to navigate the complexities of personal evolution and rediscovery.Elise Lyon - Instagram Link
