Elise Gagliardi

In her work, she embraces her family's practice of storytelling through art. Drawing from nostalgic memories, photographs, and stories she builds whimsical, ephemeral memorials. These memorials are often centered around family and a sense of place. In each piece she makes obscure, and personal references to individuals, motherhood, legacy, permanence, and impermanence. For her creating art is an act of accounting, remembering, and holding space for those fleeting moments. Her art practice is an act of “planting seeds” for rebirth.
