Ex-fashion model Elizabeth Jaeger has transcended her “position” of being a model, to sculpting life-size models. Tremendous focus on the body language and emotions of her sculptures are paramount over anatomical structure. This serves as a form of expression about her past experiences working as a model and sometimes as revisited outlets for harsh societal conditions.
From her sculptures of gleeful women to sculptures of anxiously deterred dogs, she wants her viewers to know that there is something unsettling and certainly wrong with finitely defined concepts about women’s beauty. She isn’t taking a stance as a model, but as an artist that has a position that declares humanity. To further enhance her cause in support of the beauty of artistic expression, she and her friend Sam Cate-Gumbert are the owners of a small company called Perdam that publishes artists’ books and editions.
