Lisa Verschoor
***
A multidisciplinary studio artist, writer and art historian based in Montreal, Canada, Lisa Verschoor references form, pattern, and materiality to evoke psycho-explorative rumination. Verschoor’s collage-papier compositions parallel physical phenomenology and obscurity with images of scientific discovery, historic investigations, and elements of art and architectural and object design. Verschoor applies a diverse collection of two-dimensional material, often employing studio-art practices in collaboration with imagery from historic and current publications. Verschoor bridges themes of social influence with contemporary feminism, offering re-evaluative depictions of traditionally constructed identity systems through tangible components and visual spectacle.
