LISA TRAXLER

March - August 2009
Lisa's Sponsored Studio Residency culminated with her exhibition "Studio 22" at GASP. During the six-month period Lisa immersed herself in the place and space - researching and using the history and life of the building as a starting point. The ideas and issues that emerged touched on memory, familiarity and emotions of past, place and time.

Lisa kept an ongoing visual diary and notebook, 'A Cuckoo in a Nest'. To read a selection of her notes please click here.

Lisa is a professional artist who lives and works on the Isle of Wight. She holds a BA (Hons) Degree in fashion and textiles her work combines painting, photography and collage; incorporating layering, stitching and  texture with acrylic and mixed media.
