COUP de COEUR : Lisa Higgins
Lisa Higgins graduated with Advanced Diploma (Jewellery) from Hungry Creek Art & Craft School (NZ) in 2012.
« Her work shows an interesting interaction between material and form, she has moved her practice forward having left the confines of school, to produce work that sits well with her ideas and intentions. » Shane Hartdegen
« Someone once told me that to repeat a process over and over and to expect a different outcome is, in itself, the definition of madness… I believe the opposite to be true.
Broken down to its tiniest detail every moment – thought/action and reaction will be different. So influenced, are we by environmental factors and the idiosyncrasies of the human condition, that we manage our existence, but never fully control it.
Continuing to explore form and the preservation of memory ‘Overexposed’ is the result of material led exploration which challenges expectations and control between material and maker, whilst repeated detailing draws the eye to the subtitles and inevitability of change. » Lisa Higgins, 2013
