artist: Lisa Solomon
Lisa Solomon is a very exciting artist, working in various mediums crossing over between drawing, textiles and sculpture. Her work looks at the notion of hybridization; and she often uses found objects in her work – combining textures , materials, techniques and subject matter that are not natural partners she says that she likes it when “wrong” things are fused together i.e.: tanks made of bright pink felt, sewing onto paper. Much of her work explores gender identity as well as the differences and contrasts between hand made and machine made and the cultural implications of both.
She recently had an exhibition in Japan – her felt tank installation
And has an upcoming show at little bird gallery Glendale Blvd. Los Angeles.

The felt tanks make for a really interesting art work.
