My name is Lise Teeuw (Dutch, b. 2000). I work with glass, ceramics, painting, drawing and writing. My work emerges from the idea that knowledge is never singular.
Clouds, water, trees and atmospheric phenomena appear throughout my work. I am drawn to the ways subtle movements of natural appearances connect everyday life to (geological, cosmological) time. By observing these processes, I explore how boundaries continuously dissolve and re-emerge.
The media I choose, are not separate disciplines to me, but different material conditions through which ideas take form. Change, accumulation and uncertainty recur throughout my work. I am interested in forms and processes that resist fixed states, and emerge through movement, relation and time.
I approach artistic practice as a way of staying with complexity rather than reducing or resolving it. I am drawn to ways of thinking that emphasize interdependence, reciprocity and coexistence. Love and attention are central to this approach. They aren’t abstract ideals, but ways of engaging with the world.
