Liz Lessner
Lessner's sculptures use sensory perception to reframe interpersonal interactions. They combine traditional sculpture materials with physical computing to create multi-sensory experiences that are often interactive. These works stem from a framing of resonant gestures that ritualize and familiarize personal memories. These objects consider social feedback loops, popular narratives of desire, as well as mythology and nostalgia and the fetishism that both imply. They explore negotiations of power and status, authenticity and performance, and preconscious affinities and desires.
