Sheer Disposition, delves into the ideals and expectations that culture imposes on women, mothers, and their bodies.
Ellen Mote paints abstract representations of the female form using acrylic on unprimed canvas. Through exaggerated curves, she reflects on the perception of value, layering shapes and colors in a translucent manner that speaks to her personal experiences of invisibility as a woman and mother. Her work challenges the pursuit of perfection, confronting the impossibility of societal expectations with symmetrical yet imperfect lines, colors, and shapes.
