Weaving

About

Lisa is a weaver and garment maker based at Cockpit in Deptford.

The act of making cloth and how cloth is worn is at the centre of her practice.

In its unassuming presence and temporality. Textiles get caught within our inner worlds.

A need to hold memories and meanings within weaves becomes of importance to Lisa.

Her work with human hair comes from this sentimentally and appreciativeness of hidden stories within cloth.

In hopes of creating pieces that touch our collective unconscious she develops delicate and intricate weaves and subsequently objects made of human hair.
