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).
