BIO Liselle Mei is a visual artist, writer and filmmaker. Her award winning short films and documentaries have screened internationally at festivals, cinemas, on television and museums including the Powerhouse and Museum of Modern Art (MOMA). Her artistic practice encompasses stone carving, clay sculpture and photography, often seeking the quiet beauty in the ordinary. Drawn to imperfection and the unexpected, Liselle specializes in the lith process, hand printing photographs in the dark room to enhance painterly textures, mystery and grain. Her online gallery, Lumei Prints, showcases the art and magic of lith printing.
ARTIST STATEMENT BETWEEN WORLDS weaves together a selection of lith photography and sculpture, connecting the human form with the poetry of nature and light. Drawn to the ephemeral and the eternal, my work seeks to capture both the fleeting and the enduring - a passing moment caught in my camera, a face carved to outlast us. For me, impermanence and the transience of life bring a fragile beauty to everything. My work is an attempt to touch on this. BETWEEN WORDS invites the viewer into a space where human presence and the natural world entwine, in tranquil union with each other. |
