Eliza Fernand is inspired by craft supplies, relationships, forces of nature, small histories, mysteries, changing landscapes, scraps of things, and the transformation of materials and ideas.
Her intentions as an artist and teacher are; reusing discarded materials for art, empowering communities through teaching self-sustaining skills, creating socially engaging projects that demystify the practice of artists, and encouraging cross-media collaboration.
She is currently investigating the traditions and techniques of quiltmaking, and conceptualizing her findings through interactive, collaborative projects.
