ARTIST BIO
Lisa Li is a Filipino-American artist based in Atlanta whose minimalist, site-specific sculptures explore the relationship between form, material, and perception. Her career includes an internship at the Frist Art Museum and work at the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, experiences that deepened her understanding of installation art and the museum experience. Lisa’s practice examines how art mediates interactions between architectural spaces and natural landscapes through spatial interventions that consider the ways viewers engage with their surroundings.
ARTIST STATEMENT
My work exists in three parts: the object, the environment, and the person encountering it. This perspective guides my approach to site-specific installations, carefully responding to elements such as light and orientation to create immersive sensory experiences. While Minimalism emphasizes the physical object devoid of self-expression, I often begin with a personal narrative, which is then distilled into simple forms for viewers to interpret in their own terms. What occurs in my thought process never appears in the final work, a hidden connection I like to call "internal chaos, external order.”
