WALKER - SOMETIMES For english version, please schroll down. 15 Maj
- 19 juni
2008 Sometimes
- speglar för vår omedvetna estetik Lisa Walker
kallar sin utställning Sometimes eftersom den anspelar på
hennes sätt att arbeta; med många objekt och idéer
samtidigt. De visar var hon är i processen vid en viss tidpunkt,
med en tanke eller ett särskilt material. Broscherna blir ögonblicksbilder
av detta och allt det som omger henne. För som hon säger:
"Everything is food for art".

Sometimes
- mirrors of a subconscious esthetic Lisa Walker has named her exhibition "Sometimes" as a reference to her way of creating art with a multitude of objects and ideas at a time. The brooches show a frozen moment of her process with a certain material and thought. For Lisa Walker, her immediate surroundings is her inspiration, or as she says "Everything is food for art". The exhibition, with more than 50 objects, opens on the 15th of May at Gallery Platina, Stockholm. A naive style is present in "Sometimes". The colors cry out and materials are mixed and blended in a surprising way - although this is a genre where the mocking up of materials more or less has become a hallmark. But in these objects there is an ongoing conversation - or negotiation - on the established esthetic norm and what we on a subconscious level perceive as beautiful. The bottom line is how humans look upon materials. Lisa Walker origins from New Zeeland were natural materials often are used to create art together with a respect for this nature. Lisa Walker says this tradition drives her mad and it is easy to see that in her choice of working elements and composition. - There are other choices possible for those who use natural materials. You could also be mean, dirty, ironic and challenging. There is other things to express but consideration and respect, she says. Lisa Walker lives and works in Munich, Germany. Here she has been studying for the well known professor Otto Kunzli at the Arts Academy, where she became acknowledged as the best student in her class. During the years she has been gathering awards and frequently participated in group exhibitions as well as separate exhibitions. At Schmuck in Munich, she is now one of the most well known participants. Often there is a reference to other contemporary jewellery from the last 40 years in her work. In connection
to the opening at Gallery Platina, Lisa Walker will also give a lecture
at Konstfack, The University College of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm.
