Elizabeth Chiles, ‘Making Meadows’

“Making Meadows” is an art exhibition of Elizabeth Chiles’ photographic collage works featuring grass, wildflowers and insects, with abstraction and shifts between figure and ground.

The Austin-based artist’s process involves photographing nature during her daily walks and composing the collage works digitally. The artist explores her ideas surrounding how meadows are formed through collaboration of insects and humans. The artist describes the exhibition as “an experimental laboratory that begins with the questions: How are meadows, both literal and metaphorical, made? What is at stake in these places of abundance, dreams and rest? Where do they persist and germinate?”
