Tiga Tiga is an installation work of over 100 inflatables with an image I have created from many photographs I have made of international collections of Thylacine specimens around the world. This is a way of bringing them home to Australia where they once roamed across the continent, with the last tiger dying in captivity in Tasmania in 1931.

This is an interview with Richard Fidler telling my personal stories around creating my artwork in recent times. Visits to the Arctic, the Antarctic and China among other places to create
new work that reaches people's understanding of story of landscape.












Singing Up Stones  -The first projection onto the sails of the Sydney Opera House.

This work changed the ability of Sydney-siders to interact with temporary artworks and began a tradition of Sydney looking to artists who work with light to tell the stories of place in the City.

  My career has focused on exploring the boundaries between art, architecture and science.  I have craeted major projects that have used cutting edge technology alongside traditional method to explore contemporary issues.

 NSW Woman Artist of the Year Award in 1996/7 allowed me  to convince the Trustees of the Sydney Opera House to allow me to be the first person to project onto the sails of that iconic building.    I spent eight years doing large-scale public art projects and installations such as Writing the City as special events for  the Sydney Biennale, the Brisbane Powerhouse as well as galleries in Australia, Singapore and Thailand.   
I was the inaugural artist-in-residence at the Australian Museum creating three large projects that investigated the relationship between the science, the collection and the community.     As a young artist I was awarded the Art Gallery of NSW prestigious Moya Dyring artist residency at the acclaimed Cite Internationale des Arts in Paris. I explored the remarkable architecture and art of that city and the socially aware movements that has informed my art work ever since.
   Again undertaking a residency in Paris in 2008 allowed me to investigate the effects of climate change on the built environment as a point of reference to the work I have been doing since my residency on a Russian ice-breaker in the High Arctic.  The Arctic works documented  the stories told to me by  the indigenous artists and story tellers at the hard edge of the effect of global warming on that fragile and disappearing landscape.
    I was the Innovation Fellow at the School of Architecture at the University of Sydney (2008/10) and the Honorary Fellow, Creative Arts, University of Wollongong (2005/9).   The University of Wollongong supported a series of digital lens based prints touring University galleries in Canada as part of my ShinyShinyWorld projects. While The Truth About SnoDomes a sculptural and video installation based on my residency on the Russian Icebreaker the Kapitan Khlebnikov in the High Arctic, it has toured regional galleries in Australia and International Festivals.
 My work has been shown in documentary forms with the ABC Conversation Hour with Richard Fidler, and Sunday Arts with Jo Chichester. I discussed my artworks and the making of these through extreme conditions of climate and pollution on our health and environments. I have a regular radio show ‘Doc Lisa’s What Were You Thinking?’ where I interview artists, writers, performers are asked about their creative processes and the diaries, blogs and tweets as an influence on their work.My own work works with socila media as a global story telling potential.
 ShinyShinyCloud is my current project. The work explores the “cloud’ as a sharing space open to understandings of people as the notions of public and personal shift globally, as well as ‘clouds’ in response to pollution and climate change. The aim of the project is to create artwork, consultations, strategies and conversations that negotiate new and old technologies through the changing new world narrative of environmental changes.

(Sweet) IVU

This is a second version of the IVU sculpture concept. This work was made for a sand dune site in Byron Bay as a part of ArtsCape.
The special qualities of the mathematical formulae of repeated unit and the reflective surfaces of the 3000 glass bowls represent a life of preciousness upsidedown.
