Statement
A gatherer. A gleaner. Everyday I start my day trying someone else’s shoes. Changing my point of view as if another eyes. I like to listen to people’s different voices in my mind and my face wears different grins. As Whitman knew, I am such a multitude, a crowd building the self I actually am. My multiple identity shares with the Void the space I occupy. Then I am an artist. New shoes everyday, new sights, new voices and grins. All belonging to the others, all mine.
A gatherer. A gleaner.
The title of 2visual4arts performance series is given by Elizabeth Ross and is :
OUTSIDER
Elizabeth Ross attempts to retain the spontaneity of invention within a frame of reference which remains true to the meaning and intent of tradition and ritual. Her art is neither pastiche nor ironic comment, for her artworks and actions express the spirit of the tradition while at the same time allowing Ross to comment on current cultural, political and ecological issues ..

BOTTLEmail
” Pour la terre” by Elizabeth Ross from Mexico, in Le Sauvan, France
An action for the Land
Bottlemail goes by sea. It has used the waves flux to carry messages to the unknown. I am inland. A sea of hills surrounds me. An old land that’s new for me. Therefore I will send a message in a bottle to tell this land l am here.
