ARTE: LISA DIANE WEDGEWORTH X AMERICAN SURVEY PT: I

Intrigued by relationships and mesmerized by storytelling, Wedgeworth’s studio practice is informed by both the personal and the collective memory. By mining these memories, excavating narratives from her own experiences and collecting narratives gathered from gossip, oral history and popular culture, she examines the connections we make, as well as, the internal and external responses or consequences of these connections. It is the intersection where the story-telling and the image-making meet, that she employs painting, sculpture and video to investigate memory and madness.

Lisa Diane Wedgeworth lives and works in Los Angeles.

"I’m attracted to the lost people of life.  I come to them rather intuitively and they wash past me in much the same way.  Each of us feeding one another's need.  People collecting people."
