Artist: Lisa Brown
Artwork Title: ‘Sisters of the Universe’
Year: 2024
Medium: Mixed media
Materials: Collage on gel relief
Dimensions: 16” x 20”
Artist Bio:
Lisa Brown explores the intersections of memory, resistance, and care within the lives of Black women. Through sculpture, analog photography, and video installation, she examines Black women's culture within the moral compass. This includes immediate families, kinfolk, sisterhood, and communities, while also revealing the deep resilience to assimilation and beauty that persist in the face of these conditions. Her practice is both personal and collective, using material, storytelling, and engagement to highlight the strength found in everyday acts of survival and love.
Brown is drawn to materials that hold memory, raw metals from the earth, and common objects within African traditions because they carry the physical and emotional weight of the stories she seeks to tell. In contrast, she uses gestures of tenderness such as stitching, layering, and imagery to represent care and healing. This balance between heaviness and softness mirrors the duality of struggle and hope that defines Black women’s experiences across generations.
