LISA RISBEC

Working with an accumulated archive; retelling stories using techniques such as quilting and embroidery combined with found objects, print, ceramics, performance, moving image, sound and text over two years.

Influenced by the archive that I work in, I am interested in the way objects are collected, stored, handled, and categorised - often finding myself performing these actions again and again in my work life. I translate these gestures into ways of making artwork, using the idea of collection and reorganisation as ritual and performance.

Reflecting on how objects are charged and can symbolise loss/grief and how archival systems or gestures could be used as a framework for practice and incorporating this into a series of installations combining moving image, sound and objects.
