Artist Statement
Elizabeth is an artist and doctoral candidate at the National Art School. Her practice is drawing-based and includes painting, collage, animation and assemblage. Her current body of work explores the feminist uncanny. Rankin perceives her drawings to be a sort of visual prose through which she describes Australian criminal mysteries. Broadly speaking, Rankin’s work fits the genre of noir. Her work is textually rich with high tones. The figuration of the pieces is partially abstracted and verges on the surreal.
