Elisabeth Kohnke is captivated by the human point of view and the way in which we take for granted or forget the constructed environments around us. With work that is sometimes disturbing and surreal, she creates imagery and installations grounded in nature and everyday consumer materials. The often invisible connection between first world energy consumption, modern constructs and raw resources inspires her to make work about the human psyche and its layers of dissonant viewpoints.
