Lissart is the name of an art practice that aims to harness collective endeavour and collaborative working to produce visual art that is inspired by natural and imagined environments.
It was set up in 2017 by me, Lissa (Mary Me|issa R0dd) This photo was taken in 2012 on the west coast of South Island, New Zealand. Nowadays, for the sea walks, I go to the North West of Scotland - quite a bit closer!
I taught maths and worked in university mathematics education up to September 2022. Until 2017 photography was my creative outlet - a photo from China (2012) links also to my on-going study of the Chinese language. And I find that doing yoga and and tending an allotment help with creative work. |
In 2017, I had a residency at OVADA where I worked on two themes bamboo & in memory MM. I was a Warehouse Art School student at OVADA in 2018-19; projects that I worked on include Rituals and Connections.
The image above are studies of the golden ratio - a link between art and mathematics which is central to my practice.
As part of my mathematics education work, I have been 'artist in residence' (very part-time) for the London School of Geometry and Number Theory and an on-line exhibition of work can be found at https://art2021lsgnt.weebly.com/ I am based in studio 6 at Magdalen Road Studios. |
