Elisheva Biernoff’s hypnotically detailed works are based on found, anonymous photographs which are painted to exact scale as faithfully as possible. The paintings are made on thin sheets of sanded plywood measuring approximately 3-1/2 inches in height or width. In the process of making each work—which requires two to three months to complete—Biernoff pays far more attention to the images than the photographers who originally made them (before the objects were discarded or given away).
