ALTERED CHOICES is comprised of 8 wooden panels, layered with brilliant pigment surrounding a poignantly placed photos. When placed together, the presence of a woman’s place under the dominant male societal view resides as the focal point of each piece.
Eloise strives for both objectivity and reflection. She depicts vibrant traces of human experiences, memories and encounters by pushing beyond the confines of the figurative image. ALTERED CHOICES are visceral manifestations that questions a viewers conceptual constructs of gender norms.

ELOISE LARSON | WEED, CALIFORNIA
Life often attempts to distract me: childbirth at seventeen, clinical death at twenty-one, divorce at twenty-five, a career in education, remarriage, parenting, grand parenting, geographic location and Buddhist discipleship. Unable to ignore the persistent nagging of my life’s intention, all of these “barriers” became doors to new ways of doing. There is no gap between life and art, when I move forward.

ALTERED CHOICES
He.
She.
Trapped,
By one letter!
Imbedded in our culture is a default pronoun that forms the male view we live in. She is in a box filled with ideas that insure she is a woman. She reaches back into that box and makes choices that determine her life. The dominant male view makes sure she understands her gender status in society. Within that status she acts within the subtle female do’s and don’ts’ that create her ‘normal”.
She makes choices that are altered by one letter, “S”.
