White Hot
STATEMENT:
White Hot is a tactile representation of repressed rage shown in natural fibers with slight movement and an achromatic palette. White Hot explores the constrained, stifling feeling of an unexpressed anger, whitewashed and bound by external forces. This work is meant to be touched and the transformation will be photographed.
BIO:
Lisa Gayhart is a multimedia designer and artist living and working in New York City. In her work, Gayhart explores memory, place, and silence–often in the context of mental health–and how these concepts work together (or don’t) to create our present-day selves. Experiencing a representation of one’s mental state can be a way in, a way for others to understand inner worlds, a way to develop empathy, and a way to stay connected over emotional distance. In addition to 14 years of digital design experience, Gayhart is self-taught in textile mediums including weaving and embroidery. The use of color to represent emotion, stark contrasts, and spare ornamentation are ongoing elements in both her design and art.
