Contradiction

Please welcome Lisa Eisenbrey from Austin, Texas!

I come to visual from a background in writing. Between the writing and the switch to visual art, the following events occurred: I moved to New York and became a graduate school dropout, I spent a lot of time in the NY art museums, I moved back home to Austin and got a job in an office where people say things like "let's get together on a white board" and "take this as an action item," I rolled down a hill in New Zealand while strapped inside a giant inflatable golf ball and my cat fell on my head. Any of these could have something to do with the change in media. Or not. Storytelling remains the driving force of my work. I supply some of the elements -a scene, a character, a bit of text - but now I leave the plot up to the viewer.
