"I like chasing the ephemeral ­ the fleeting moment, kinetic memory, and the space between."

"I pursue tenuous spatial balances and examine, fracture, and reassemble images to reflect new metamorphic states."

"I am interested in translations of nature as they appear in decorative motifs, architectural details and functional objects and the ways in which we use them to create a language of metaphor."

-Elizabeth McKinne
