Artistic Practice

Her work mines both societal and self-imposed constructs of femninity, while also delving into broader conversations about metephysics, consumption and identity." Daily Serving: An International Publication for Contemporary Art, June 11, 2013. Caitlin Sutherland. "Artificial Two-Step: ELizabeth Zvonar's Banal Baroque"
