Lisa Pettibone

Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area (CA) I trained as a graphic designer before finding my way into sculpture via glass making. In 2005 I gained a BA in 3D Design in Glass from UCA Farnham, UK, and in 2018 graduated from UAL Central Saint Martins with an MA in Art and Science. A visual artist working in sculpture, installation and print, I have an interest in astronomy, physics and neuroscience. My practice investigates perception and queries the evolution of form through hidden forces such as gravity, energy and tension. Using a variety of materials, including glass, I record and express these phenomena, evoking direct sensory experiences that connect people to their environment.

Exhibiting in the UK and internationally, I was long-listed for the Aesthetica Art Prize in 2013, selected for Discerning Eye exhibitions (2015/2018) and won the installation category for the National Open Art Prize in 2017. In 2018-19 I was artist-in-residence at Mullard Space Science Laboratory (UCL) in Surrey, funded by the Arts Council England.
