Artist Statement‍

Lisa Marie Patzer’s artistic practice celebrates memory and history by reimagining archival materials in new visual forms. She uses cutting-edge digital techniques to reimagine analog media in luminous arrangements for a contemporary audience. Approaching her work as a form of visual dialogue, Lisa Marie’s process involves historic research, collaboration with curators and other space designers, as well as deep “listening” to place. Each work is customized to its location, allowing viewers and visitors to uncover and elevate stories that build memorable experiences. Her work is printed on various transparent substrates that are often displayed in illuminated art panels hand-fabricated in her workshop. The result is a combination of design and light that serves to uniquely enhance space.
