Topple is part of a series of paintings that are concerned with themes of memory and sentiment. Lisa is interested in how vessels and familiar objects may be lingering reminders of experiences. Her technique focuses on layering, glazing and rubbing back collage material and acrylic paint, and exploring the interplay between positive and negative space. 'Topple' is an expressive depiction of household items on a shelf and is a reference to the balancing act that we sometimes find ourselves managing as we go through life.
Artist Bio: Lisa began painting fulltime from her Brisbane home studio in 2022 after an earlier career working with children and their families in health, education and art gallery settings. Play and exploration is an important part of Lisa's art practise and she loves allowing her artworks to evolve intuitively over time.
