Surface Gallery is excited to present "The Shape of Consciousness" by Elizabeth Selby.Please join us for an opening on Friday, October 3, 5-9 pm. The exhibit will be on display through October 31st.
About the Exhibit:
Artist-turned-therapist Elizabeth Selby returns to art with a restless meditation on how we carry the invisible weight of our histories—fractured moments, hidden wounds, and
the invisible hands that guide us home. Elizabeth Selby’s assemblages fuse therapy with craft, layering salvaged wood, metal, and glass into surreal puzzles that while imperfect, somehow fit tightly together, whispering secrets about pain, healing, and the strange alchemy of becoming who we’re meant to be.
About the Artist:
Artist-turned-therapist Elizabeth Selby returns to art with works exploring pain, healing, and the collective nature of change. Her practice draws on a background in oil painting, ceramics, woodworking, jewelry making, and metalwork—skills she’s honed
over years of creative exploration.
Her work as a therapist deeply informs her art, as conversations with clients have sharpened her awareness of how life shapes us: through relationships, challenge, memory, and transformation. Selby’s current body of work, The Shape of Consciousness, brings these threads together in assemblages crafted from salvaged
wood, brass, marble, acrylic, and glass—pieces that fit together like puzzles, imperfectly cut but seamlessly joined.
Selby lives and works in Colorado Springs, CO.
