Lisa’s artworks for the table often refer to traditional porcelain or
dinner whitewares, but with softer forms inspired by the playful and
abundant qualities of Mexican earthenware. She invented her own
production process after studying clay mold fragments in antiquated
factories and museums. After forming pieces in molds, on the wheel,
or both, she finishes with stamps, slips, sprigs and multihued glazes.
Though Lisa’s colors can evoke a happy garden, it is the strength of
her form that sets her work apart: it feels muscular and strong while
showing fluidity. In this way she plays both ends of the spectrum,
from the dynamic and substantive to the detailed and dreamy--full of
surprise. Her artwork is best presented with a lovely meal.
