about Elle Peril

Female

I am an American model and experimental artist. I use text, photography, mixed media, and performance to explore the impact of trauma on the creative subconscious. I started modeling informally in 2005 for college friends, before specializing in film portraiture and figure work for independent artists, students, and educators in the New England area. My images have appeared in print and on gallery walls, but these days, I am most interested in the use of art as a vehicle for social change and as a therapeutic tool for psychological healing and growth. My work investigates the personal and collective survival of the human body, mind, and identity in the daily trauma/drama of modernity.

art likes: the ecstatic, erratic, and idiosyncratic
