Rise no.1 Collage

Taking inspiration from nature and it's delicate beauty and raw power; Lisa created the Rise series as a response to feelings of hope and fear she was feeling at the time. Lisa took herons as a starting point and then abstracted them in a flurry of energy, texture and colour. The paper and card is sculpted to have a 3 dimensional textural feel, layering hundreds of hand cut strips of paper. The circular shape and dynamic movement aim to capture the power of wild birds in an abstract way; as a source of raw energy and beauty. All the elements are painstakingly cut by hand, all internal and external structures are hand cut from paper and card. The paper and card are stuck to a large painted back board with hanging hardware already attached. This work will be on display and available to purchase at the Other art fair, March 9 – 12, London.
