The intention with this sculpture was to flesh out the painted surface and give it form. Using the detritus of my studio, and my life in general, is expedient but it also adds an archival record of the failed/finished works that preceded it. The work is a collage of earlier experiments and personal symbolism.
Lizzie Hall completed her Bachelor of Visual Arts (Hons 1) in Printmedia and Drawing at the Australian National University's School of Art in 2000, having earlier receiving the Vice-Chancellor's Award Scholarship. Her work has been the focus of eight solo exhibitions between 2002 and 2015 (including one at Galerie Notre Dame de Recouvrance in France) and in numerous group exhibitions mounted everywhere from the Art Gallery of NSW and the Casula Powerhouse, to the Doug Moran Portrait Prize where she was a semi-finalist in 2013.
