The Gowanus Muskrat (Children’s Book) for Publication - Author and Illustrator:
The Gowanus Muskrat, is a full color illustrated children's book about the effects of climate change on urban fauna. It is now complete and consists of twenty chapters and thirty-five illustrations, each a richly detailed oil painting. I am currently in promising discussion with the Senior Editor of Children’s Books at Princeton Architectural Press, but the manuscript requires shortening. The long version of the project including all illustrations can be viewed here: https://elizabetalbert.wixsite.com/thegowanusmuskrat
Visual Art Production for Exhibition:
My ongoing studio practice is dedicated to works that are painting-based, but also incorporate photography (my own), film stills, and open source historical imagery, some of which is printed on fabric, stitched to the painted surface and then again painted into. All these works represent in some form the relationship between the natural environment and its various forms of representation. They explore the optics of shifting space and time in actual and imaginary experience through collage-like juxtapositions of distinct worlds, evoking a simultaneity of experience internal and external; received and invented. They speak to a need to make sense of; to organize multiple types of experience, especially in the face if a barrage of welcome and unwelcome information. The works may at times pair imagery that is both utopian and dissolute; desirable and abject; but always seeking balance. The subtext is the landscape as real and psychological space.
