The Work
Grid and flow is an urban metaphor for order and chaos. The city streets, symbolized by the overlapping peg boards, represent the orientation systems all humans need to understand and navigate their world.
The tangle of string and found objects connecting the pegboards through their perforations represents a form of chaos which is necessary to keep the orderly pegboards from falling apart.
The Artist
Elizabeth Casqueiro is a US-based visual artist from Portugal who is fascinated by the metaphors and meanings of human-made spaces, from cities and buildings to garden landscapes and public parklands. Her artwork explores the ways in which these spaces shape the narratives we embody and the identities we assume. She has degrees in fine arts and architecture and practices her art at her studio at the Jackson Art Center in Washington DC.
