The acceptance – Elizabeth Tiamzon
Elizabeth Tiamzon was born in the Philippines in 1978 and lived there until she was eleven before moving to Australia in 1989. She has loved drawing since the age of five, and though at the time poverty limited the materials available (she would use scraps of paper and broken pencils, and even used sticks to scratch her drawings in the dirt), it couldn’t stop her active imagination.
However, over the last two years, Elizabeth has explored, nurtured and established an unique method of drawing that is slightly more abstract. Using black felt tip pen and art paper as her medium, she contrasts the simple materials used with dark, complex designs.
A series of fine and intricate pieces originally born of a black felt tip pen, that have been reproduced and stretched onto virgin white canvases. Elizabeth Tiamzon exhibits these dark and unique designs for the first time. She explores the twisted complexity of human emotions and our internal battle of self destruction and healing.
