About

Elizabeth Blackie is a fine art photographer based in the UK, whose multidisciplinary practice spans photography, performance, and installation. Her work is rooted in a personal narrative with images that give conscious form of an intimate journey of self discovery. Blackie seeks a dialogue with external landscapes, creating staged scenes that resonate with her own private world. The photograph becomes a mirror in which Blackie finds emotions formally buried within the subconscious. Blackie’s monochrome, minimalist images are an enquiry into the uncanny.
