Eli Herlaug Eines creates narratives in spaces. Her choice of medium is based on its conceptual content and suitability. In the Standard Model, stone and air are both made from equally esoteric quarks and leptons. Sensing how nuclear physicists describe the air and the rest of the universe with her fingers, she embroiders this equation, the foremost theory explaining what the world consists of and what holds it together. The work’s title is a play on words. In antiquity, the sky was perceived as a solid crystal sphere to which the stars were attached, the firmament, while air was one of the four sensible elements.
Eli Eines is an artist from Norway. She is educated at Trondheim Academy of Fine Art and State's College of Education in Forming, Tapestry.
