Micael Elrod

Elrod’s work is founded on symbolism through plants and animals and their relationship with humanity; finding mythology, pantheism, and science equally fascinating and connected. For the past year Elrod’s work has revolved around reflection on what it means to be a woman, mother and human on this planet that is full of wonder and symbiosis, but ravaged by the greed and selfishness of man. Each piece begins with an intuitive moment after journaling or sitting in peace, sometimes after weeks of reflection and sometimes as a fleeting thought in the middle of the night or while doing dishes. The work is a reflection on the beauty of life, death, partnership, cooperation and balance.
