about
Born and raised in the UK, Elizabeth Khoury has spent much of her life living between the United States, Spain, and Lebanon — tracing a life shaped by crossings and returns, always seeking a place that feels like home yet still, somehow, looking. This in-between state threads through her artistic practice, which moves between the visible and the unseen, the sacred and the everyday.
Her work unfolds as a series of offerings — driftwood altars, stones gathered from the margins, fragments of language and gesture that honor what endures beneath the surface of time. Rooted in a deep attention to place, Khoury’s installations, drawings, and participatory works create spaces of reverence and remembrance, inviting others to listen, gather, and contribute to acts of quiet ritual.
Influenced by feminist and decolonial approaches, her recent projects, including Tides and Thresholds and Alphabet of the Unseen, explore the transference of ancestral memory, the mysticism of language, and the fragile threads that bind us to the elemental. Through her work, Khoury seeks to re-enchant what has been overlooked — to turn displacement into devotion, and the search for home into a living artform.
