Concession Stand, 2008
Chicago photographer, Elizabeth Ernst, is presenting a new chapter in her series of work depicting the performers of an imaginary circus and sideshow. Elizabeth sculpts the performers out of clay and scrap metal, photographs them and prints the images on linen paper, and then paints over the photographs with acrylics. She also merges the work with images she has photographed at actual circuses. You can read more about her process and view other images in the series here.
