About the Item
Eternal is comprised of a photograph, acrylic paint, found objects in nature (bones, leaves, flowers, stones, crystals, sand) and resin. The base materials for the work consist of a wooden paneled canvas that provides the platform for the adhesion of a rolled photographic canvas, a fine art photography print. The canvas print is adhered to the wood using a clear acrylic varnish. Acrylic Paint is added along with the objects that I found in nature, including many bones I found in California, Colorado and New Mexico, which are all meticulously placed, finally cemented in resin. This piece of art was photographed in 2018 and physically put together in 2020.
This work is inspired by the inherent connection between humans and nature. We are all one. I hope the viewer will be inspired to continually respect oneself, fellow humans, and planet earth. I chose digital photography and mixed media in order to accurately represent the truth and beauty of our collective consciousness and shared visual landscape. This image is a self-portrait captured in the hills of northern California near a special hot springs that I have been visiting my entire life with my family. The surface of the earth pictured here beneath my skin is formed by layers of salt that accumulated over time in a field filled with bones and artifacts from times past.

Elsa Marie Keefe
Elsa is a visual artist based in Brooklyn, NY. Her work explores the nude human figure, body-mind connection, concepts of beauty, freedom, and our relationship to the natural world. Her images and exhibitions examine human nature, the boundaries of innocence versus sexuality, and human being’s relationship with mother earth. She communicates through experimentation with color, light, place, space, time, paint, words, collage, sound, people, video and performance. Creating art and being naked in nature is her therapy. She grew up on the north shore of Boston, spending holiday time with her family in places of extreme beauty around the world where oftentimes clothing was not obligatory. Elsa photographs humans in the natural elements, in spaces void of manmade objects to create a timeless visual landscape. Photography is the backbone of her work. However, she also creates large scale mixed media pieces with her images that are comprised of digital photographs printed on canvas, pasted on a wooden panel, covered with leaves, bones, flowers, crystals and other natural objects, and finally coated and cemented in resin.

The base materials for the work consist of a wooden paneled canvas that provides the platform for the adhesion of a rolled photographic canvas, a fine art photography print. The canvas print, in this case a double exposure digital photograph, is adhered to the wood using a clear acrylic varnish.
