Understanding Lisa
NOTE: This was an essay written for the volunteers who are supporting us with their time, love and energy at the "BUSY BEING" event being held on November 1 & 2, 2014.
In order to understand her artwork, you have to understand Lisa Bacon, and in order to understand Lisa Bacon you have to understand what an Artist is all about: Artists do not think or look or see like other people. When Lisa walked into a room she would not just look around. She would see everything all at once- completely- everything! And I suspect she even saw the molecules of air, because she was not only aware of every object in the room, but also its relationship to every other object in the room, and so forth.
