Edem Elesh: Artist Statement

Process and Providence

I am interested in examining the miracle of everyday existence. I have lead a very unique life. Born in Los Angeles and educated from an early age at English boarding schools, I have been exposed to two different cultures. This gives my work an American energy with English sensibilities. I am intrigued by the interplay born of this duality: order and chaos, old and new, the conscious and unconscious, structure and freedom. Not to mention expectation and accident.
I am currently working with a new form of mixed media which allows, to an even greater extent, the chances of an interplay between process and providence.
