"Smith Eliot’s work centers itself upon an intuitive exploration
that surfaces the wants and anxieties of women in relationship to passing
youth and sexual desirability. The lush, seductive imagery somewhat performative
in nature is magnetic and draws upon the power of unleashed, female beauty
and the darkness that seems to surround beauty’s impracticality.
In some of her works feminine beauty is a useless tool that bodes darkness
and damage. In others the images celebrate the inner strength of the
mischievous imagination of women as warriors who fight for and against
themselves.” |
