Lisa Knoop
Artist Statement
I am fascinated by what is carried from the past, what collects in the present and what we bring with us into the future. Of particular interest to me is how experience and time act upon each of us to make us who we are; each addition and subtraction making up the whole. Working in various media—painting, drawing, photography, and mixed media, I explore the themes of birth, growth, decay and rebirth. I use transfers and screenprinted images of Muybridge's dancers in place of actors to speak about the dance of life. They allow me to set up relationships and sometimes precarious situations that speak about things beyond words.
