Biography
Elizabeth Knowles is a visual artist based in Norfolk, CT. Her artmaking explores both static and dynamic patterns in nature recurring on differing scales of perception. Some are biological patterns on the cellular level of organisms. Others are geological formations reminiscent of Earth’s natural landscapes. Utilizing a variety of media, her work connects landscapes and life forms, physiology and physics, death and detritus, order and chaos, and growth and form. Each shape is whole in and of itself while simultaneously connecting to a greater system of patterns. Revealing life’s rhythms, the work displays the unfolding and undulation of vibrant energy expanding, contracting, and recycling itself through visual relationships.
Statement
A basic component of my process involves discovering a pattern that connects discrete elements and enables the creation of a larger unified whole. This echoes how living cells grow and aggregate over time with other cells to enable the emergence of complex organisms. Cutting bending twisting strands of wire… one component connecting with another… long hours of detailed repetitive processes become meditative, even hypnotizing.

Communicating an artistic process is never a straightforward journey. I trust these videos help to bridge any gaps between the numinous and tangible, the intellectual and kinesthetic.​
