About
Lisa (she/they) is a printmaker, writer, researcher, and designer based in California. She aims to deconstruct narratives (often of settler colonial violence) to illuminate what upholds seemingly innocent institutions, like the citrus industry in Southern California. At the same time, she writes and makes art to decolonize her own personal history and embodied experience. 

As she continues to construct her practice, she returns to ideas Eileen Myles crystallized in their poetry: 
         ‘At the end
        of the
        world
        I am
        my poem’ (Not Me, 198). 

        ‘If 
         I study history
         there will
         always be
         work for
         me in
         the back
         yard. Tons
         to gab
         about’ (Not Me, 68).
