These hands shall carry you home
2018
'In These hands shall carry you home, Elizabeth Gabrielle Lee assembles a collection of family images and manipulates them into abstraction. Family photography is an integral aspect of Elizabeth’s practice, and These hands shall carry you home is the result of her observation of such patterns in her practice that seemed inherited from her father. Intimate details of hands—interlaced, gripped and embraced—are cropped and blown to monumental scale, superimposed and intervened. The result is a wallpaper resembling the galaxy in which memories, reclaimed or imagined, are scattered. Through the lens of personal histories, Elizabeth researches into the innate, collective and transcendental memory.'
