‘Elizabeth: In the Shadows’ takes on a multitude of forms: a fragment of Elizabeth’s life is present in each of the four other spaces, and then exhibited, without advertising, at a steam fair. The narrative detailed in the signs takes on a constant visual language – this language explores how typography itself can be absent yet present. This decision is due to Elizabeth remaining almost absent from the archival documentation, more non-existent than lost. Despite this, oral history snippets and the odd newspaper fragment have located her in connection to the other four females: hence why her identity is re-established in regard to them.
