Eliza Gosse captures a sense of colour and play through her exploration of interiors and exteriors of the past in her distinctive imagery. Her work evokes nostalgia, celebrating the optimism and flair of post-war and mid-century design. Gosse creates pared back images that are not so much a depiction as an evocation of an era or place and the people who may once have lived there. Her use of a soft, muted colour palette and playful titles pulled from pop culture add a touch of sentimentality, inviting viewers to imagine the stories that might be held within the walls.
