Lisa O'Keefe in Profile

Suspended in space or gently swinging the ‘Hanging Rock’ paintings (a variation on ‘The Rock’ series) have become questions in themselves. 
Who are the solitary individuals who explore their paths or gaze out into the distance?   How did they get there?  How do they leave?  Do they even want to leave?   Are they eager sight-seers, or people searching for a dream unfulfilled?

Swings feature in a lot of recent works as do looping, dangling lines and passages of what could be seen as transparent fabric or fine screens.  Ever present are the spatters of paint and myriad dots. 

In fact, the torsos etc were to be seen as compacted and speckled grains of sand / something carved out of stone. 

In all current works Lisa is trying to fuse an ever present human interest with a feeling for nature and landscape but as seen through the imagination.
