AA2A Resident Artist

Lisa-Marie Dickinson

Schemes:

Interested in the ways in which we communicate, my work concerns itself with the manners in which language manifests, exploring the simultaneous permanence and irrelevance language can have in its written, spoken and gestural form. Observing the link between identity, gesture and the vessels which we use to communicate, I explore how language can become an identity and how identity can become its own language. A key focus within my practice is the field of Asemic writing, where language can be line and line can be language. My recent works are a series of material experiments, exploring how language can manifest itself through sculpture, drawing, photography and mark making and the individual properties these vessels of communication uphold. Interested in presenting language in a way which transforms it into an asemic, unreadable script, my visceral, painterly ways of creating affect and distort text, manipulating them intentionally so the audience cannot decipher their original meaning, if they had one to begin with.
