Humor has long been the binding line through Eilers' practice. An astute, open minded and non-judgmental observer, aesthetics and language become vehicles to transport feelings and unveil a social body that isn't as glamorous as its projections, reflections and wants. Eilers' work seems to ask if the actual aim of self-improvement is self-destruction as the search for meaning so often strays into material or medium or some form of medicine that numbs one to it all. The paintings and drawings depict scenes in which various forms of excess are imbibed to escape reality or the guilt of hedonistic entitlement or addiction.
