Liza J. Lee
Original mixed media paintings
Liza Lee has been painting since 1997. Her art reflects her experiences on the internet. Using search engines, she researched metaphysical topics, which lead to her first major series called “Soul Journey.” These sacred geometry paintings tell the story of our electronic evolution from the static nature of paper-source communications to the inter-connectivity of the internet medium.
The viral nature of the internet facilitates and encourages people to pass along messages voluntarily. This was partly responsible for the rapid dissemination of how glaciers are recognized as being among the most sensitive indicators of climate change — retreating during global warming. This inspired her to create the “Ascension” series of snowy landscapes. These represent the evolution of our understanding, appreciation and connection to nature.
The internet is a powerful tool to broadcast new ideas, such as the convergence of metaphysical beliefs and scientific evidence that our thoughts have a direct impact on our environment. Therefore, our collective appreciation of nature has the ability to make a difference with climate change.
For the Main Art Drift 2008, Liza has created an original and functional 10 x 7 foot art installation, and small mixed media pieces with recycled materials for a series called “Lacescape.” Her latest series broadly symbolizes the infinite largeness of the cosmos, the minuteness of the subatomic world, and the vastness of the internet — where all matter converges into patterns of information represented by the concept of lace. The threads of lace are the thoughts that weave our multiple dimensions, while the spaces between are the field of formless potentialities. “Everything is made of energy and at the deepest level everything is created from information.”
For the large-scale “Lacescape” art installation, she stitched and painted raw canvas, as well as deconstructed lace curtains to demonstrate how patterns of information are formed, both physically and conceptually. Select pieces from "Soul Journey," and “Ascension” are also available for the Main Art Drift 2008.
