Image Description: These body curves are made from 91,689 tiny vertices captured with a 3D scanner. Glowing light against a black background reveals a person in a yoga pose with one knee bent and the other stretched long, lifting their upper body up out of the floor with lengthened arms. Long locs spill like a waterfall reaching the floor and covering their face, we can see through to the circumference of the neck, revealing the core, aligned right between the shoulders as if a portal. The fingers and hands are spread so wide they disappear into the floor entirely as if the wrists are dipping into a pool of water. The hips, hips that hold so much emotion that we are often not conscious to, those hips are glowing the brightest of all.

Sometimes I pick random materials up from the tool shop and put them on me. To amuse myself, to stay playful and to stay open to a material transforming. Image description: Lisa looks through a diamond mesh metal band wrapped around her head.

Thrilled to have my artwork back in in Albuquerque’s Old Towne. The collective art show is titled ‘Women’s Work’ and two of my sculptures ‘Blue Tongue’ and ‘Heart Beat’ are on show and for sale. This contemporary gallery has some incredible sculptors and I’m excited to be among them. Here is an ad for the art show, a shot of opening night and my sculptures on display right in the middle of the gallery, as well as shots of each individual piece. Stop by the gallery in person, or if you live elsewhere just go on ahead and DM me to arrange a buyer ’show and tell’ by video.

‘Blue Tongue’ is 3D printed resin sculpture created from 3D scan of human feet. Life-sized feet crossed at the ankle with pinky toe of left foot nestled and sticking out between big toe of right foot. Custom dyed during in the 12 hr 3D printing process the material effect is layers of seaglass blues. Designed as a bookshelf end or freestanding design piece. Smooth to the touch and glows in natural light. 12 “ 4 “ x 5 “ (approx size 8.5 foot).

$1,500 (artist/gallery split is 60/40).

How is this work relevant to the Women’s Work theme?

With my sensory sculptures I am inviting you to embody an experience (rather than just consume it, as the male gaze invites). In ‘Blue Tongue’ you either embody what the shape of the feet feels like from the perspective of the feet and/or from the perspective of the tongue/mouth interacting with these feet.

‘Heartbeat’ is a 3D printed concrete sculpture created from 3D scan of a n**e pregnant human kneeling with one hand over their heart and the other over their belly. 10” x 4” x 5"

$750 (artist/gallery split is 60/40)

How is this work relevant to the Women’s Work theme?

With this sculpture within a sculpture, I’m inviting you to imagine the shape and volume of what is growing inside the belly. The circulatory system connecting the heartbeats. The quality of the piece, as if it was dug up in an archeological site is a reminder of how many mothers have come before us.

Dec 3 - 30 my 3D scanning portrait and sculpture work will be exhibited and for sale at in Albuquerque New Mexico in The Big Q***r Show.

I have chosen to feature Q***r bodies captured in moments of connection and liberation, bodies that I had the honor of capturing with my 3D scanner.

I will also be ‘in residence’ at the gallery offering 3D scanning as a free experience with the option to buy the portraits we create together.

This is certainly intended to be a holiday gift opportunity, so in addition to fine art pieces for sale I have also designed affordable gifts inspired by the originals which include candy glass feet, jewelry, postcards, and gift cards for portrait sessions.

Here is how you can experience:

Here are my 3D printed sculpture prototypes chillin in the rock candy used on the set of Breaking Bad and created by . Debbie is collaborating with me on making a limited batch of blue candy footprints to sell as treats along with my blue fine art sculptures for the December art show at - Image description: a tray of aquamarine rock candy with a scale and scoop and shiny blue feet sculpture nestled in the piles of rock candy.

Fun with failures. The supports for my resin sculpture 3D printed on the build plate but the sculpture itself did not print. These learning moments are valuable when I can determine for sure if the failure is user error, machine, material, or file related. I can tell I’m in love with a process or material when even the failures are interesting. Image description: a shiny metal rectangle is coated in see through blue green resin dots and vertical sticks. A puddle of liquid resin gathers on the paper towel and cardboard beneath.

Dec 3 - 30 my 3D scanning portrait and sculpture work will be exhibited and for sale at The Ricochet Gallery in Albuquerque New Mexico in The Big Q***r Art Show. (Please follow )

I have chosen to feature Q***r bodies captured in moments of connection and liberation, bodies that I had the honor of capturing with my 3D scanner. It has been a total joy to prepare for this show, and I realize I have enough work for a solo show on this theme, however I have thoughtfully selected a handful of jaw dropping pieces that invite you to touch and interact with your senses.

I will also be ‘in residence’ at the gallery offering 3D scanning as a free experience with the option to buy the portraits we create together.

I’m picking out some glass made from recycled glass up at to use as stands for my smaller sculptures. Which ones would you want in your home? Image description: drink coaster sized squares of glass with marbled swirls of colored glass in turquoise, browns, and flame colors.

My Night Sculpture artwork is now available on yoga mats via print on demand through my online store! Here is the piece ‘Beam’ as an example. I also am loving the Oryx skull as a design for yoga mats, it’s a stunning image and reminder to embrace asymmetry as beautiful. Image description: a black yoga mat with towing mesh of a woman with locks leaning forward in pigeon pose. Lisa laying next to yoga mat for scale. And mock-up of yoga mat with side 3D model of a one horned oryx skull.

What feelings and memories emerge for you while watching me smooth the surface of this foot sculpture? Video description: Feet crossed with the pinky toes resting in between toes of the other foot. Grey 3D model solid form is moved around as a smoothing tool transforms the skin surface from geomagnetic triangles to smooth reflective surface. Smoothing on the ankles, the toes and balls of the feet.

I’m helping my brother put together some equipment and taking such pleasure in the engineering and custom design as I put together these table legs from .io . The nuts use spring and ball bearing tension so they can slide up and down to get the exact right position before locking down. The symmetry looking down the center of the metal legs reminds me of snowflake crystal formations. The metal is gorgeous aquamarine and cobalt blue. No burrs the metal is smooth and exact. And yes those are my overalls and feet as this is an overhead view.

Detail zoom of a new artwork titled BEAM. This is a glorious photo print of 3D model sculpture of real human being. As beams hold up a building, what holds us up when life quakes us? The structure of our spine? The strength of our arms? Or is it our inner light beam we fuel when we close our eyes and focus internally? For practitioners you'll recognize the posture known as 'Pigeon' in this piece. The hips that hold our emotions are glowing brightly. Video description: a sequential zoom of artwork from seeing the whole image of a person holding themselves up from the floor with long dreads covering their face, we can see through the 3D model to the circumference of the neck, as the zoom in continues the digital pixels appear like a network of electrons. Each zoom is matched with the sound of a deep inhale like blowing up a balloon without exhaling. Silence for the time to take in detail.

Look up close at the detail and experience of volume on the test print of my broken horned Oryx skull. What a beauty. She is a literal middle finger to the worlds obsession with perfection. The source artifact was spectacular to handle. Made with a real skull, 3D scanner, Blender and Photoshop. The final piece will likely be on canvas. Lyrics to the song clip from singing a tune - ‘I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me. The radio reminds me of my home far away. Driving down the road I get a feeling that I should have been home yesterday. Yesterday.’

This is my first post on my brand new business page for my art. There are so many genuinely exciting things happening that I could post about but what I really want to start with is a thank you.

Thank you to the people in my world who have supported and challenged me. To the people who said yes to me 3D scanning them in the dark over the past four years as I created something new and worth sharing.

Very soon you will be able to buy art directly from my online store and book The Body in 360 interactive workshops.

Give this new page a like if you are interested in staying tuned.
