AACG Wisconsin Artists Series Presentation – Lisa Koch
Posted on Jul 10, 2020, by Bergstrom-Mahler Museum of Glass
Madison-based artist Lisa Koch began her career as a scientist researching cell division. Her passion for the arts drove her towards an MFA in Sculptural and Dimensional Studies with an emphasis in glass. “The cloud imagery in my work is symbolic of the travel of matter (in this case, water) around the earth, without knowing its history. Imagine how water moves around the earth – how did that glass of water travel to be in front of you? One molecule may have rained down in India, flowed to the ocean, swirled around for decades, evaporated into a cloud, and rained down in California where it was purified and bottled. My work investigates these processes and the mixing of information that takes place.”
