the loss of words and meaning (detail)

Using polymer combined with found objects, Elissa Farrow-Savos investigates personal stories that address universal human emotions and relationships. Her use of letters or text builds from the idea that she is crafting narratives with which a viewer can engage and use for self-reflection. This piece, about the loss of words and meaning, is dedicated to the memory of the artist’s mother who passed away after a long illness when Farrow-Savos was 21.
