Yesterday, by Elliana

Artist Bio:

Local artist Elliana works in a variety of mediums, her favorite being photography and textiles. Her textile works are on permanent display at The Centre of Hope and Union Gospel Mission and worn by various individuals around the world. Elliana’s paint and pottery works were showcased during a group show in 2019 at Artbeat Studio Inc. and can be found in various homes. Yesterday is her first solo show and the first  exhibition showcasing her love of photography.

Artist Statement:

The photographs in this exhibition remind us of the past and its golden quality. Our past is a blend of days, and our perception and memory of those days can change over time. During happy times we tend to take more photographs, or maybe more to the point, we keep more photographs.

Yesterday is an assortment of happy and sad photos that will remind the viewer that Covid like other stressful events, will eventually be part of yesterday.

    Lovely images! ‘Yesterday’ is a very powerful and evocative photo. ‘Dance with Me’ makes me sigh with pleasure. Congratulations on your 1st solo show!

    Wow your pictures are very beautiful. I love the freckle one, yesterday, the tree one I found was very interesting ,it gives a calming effect but also looks very busy. With all the branches. Very cool. I hope to stop by to see your solo.

      Chloe,

      Thank you for your comment! I will let Elliana know that you enjoyed her work. Unfortunately because of COVID AANM’s offices remain closed and this exhibition is an online exhibition only. We’ll be glad to have you visit the office and gallery once we open again in the future!

    Elliana I love how you have created lasting moments of God’s creation. Each photo draws me in and makes me think, “And God saw that it was good.” Beautiful pictures!
