EP 003: LIZ NIELSEN & CAROLINA WHEAT

Image Culture

Image Culture in conversation with artists and curators Liz Nielsen and Carolina Wheat. Together Liz and Lina operate Elijah Wheat Showroom. In their own words, “Voices embodied at Elijah Wheat Showroom are socially conscientious, politically engaged and reflective of a creative community striving to cultivate interactions outside the status-quo. The Showroom represents artists & curators that enjoy instigating conversation beyond a commercial focus.” (Elijah Wheat Showroom) In her own practice Liz Nielsen “replaces the traditional negative with hand cut collages comprised of different colored gels. She projects her forms on to chromogenic paper creating bright and luminous abstractions. As the paper she uses is a negative rather than a positive paper, the colors of the gels are reversed often creating surprising new combinations where Nielsen’s compositional control comes face to face with the magic of photographic chemistry.” (Danziger Gallery)
