Lisa Thompson Tyne and Wear, United Kingdom
North East Emerging Fine Artist. I specialise in sculpture, print and illustration.
Are we real? Are we really here? Is what we see who we truly are?
My work explores the abstract human form and the relationship between individual representation and our environment. Individuals can become trapped in an echo chamber creating an environment of confirmation bias that re-enforces what individuals are presenting as ‘self’. Through Virtual Reality, Video and sculpture I am creating a physical intervention and isolated experience between the viewer and the installation in the hopes of opening up a dialogue between how we perceive ourselves in the digital and physical spaces we traverse.
