BIO

Since the 1990s, Artist and Multidisciplinary Designer Lisa Moses has pursued a dynamic practice and has directly engaged sites, intrinsic histories, and in-depth research. Her works manipulate dimensionality and scale. Constantly inspired by the natural world and working to rethink and challenge artistic practices using biomimicry, Moses has developed an oeuvre that critically examines the structures of our environments and spaces. She incorporates conceptual art, process-driven experiments, architectural insertions, and installation art. And her work exposes obscured realities, and, more importantly, how playing with and within micro systems of our natural world can positively influence our macro habitats. Working across a wide range of media, her practice opens up literal and metaphorical interstitial spaces, taking into account shifting, vacant, urban zones. Pursuing projects that will make significant contributions to the evolution of diverse and connected ecosystems, Moses offers considerations for an inherent marriage of art and architecture that will have a strong environmental and social impact on many different communities.

Moses has received national recognition for her multidisciplinary practice. Her work has been published in magazines including The New York Times, Artforum, Denver Westword, Biennial of the Americas, Interior Design Magazine, The Boston Globe, and New Haven Register. She has won numerous awards and has developed an international scope to her practice. Moses has been awarded the National Endowment for the Arts “Our Town” Grant, 1st Place in the ASID Crystal Awards, 1st Place in the IIDA International Sustainable Design Competition, and the Bessie Award In Performance, Installation and New Media, among other honors.

Moses received her Masters Degree from Rhode Island School of Design, a Collegiate Teaching Diploma from Brown University, and a Bachelors of Fine Arts from Pennsylvania State University. She aspires to cultivate cross-disciplinary conversations that help to elevate people and their power to create lasting positive change with the goal of enhancing sustainability of our built and natural worlds.

She currently lives in upstate New York with her husband and son, Sylvan. In addition to her creative work, she is also an avid cyclist, runner, outdoor enthusiast, music lover and her record collection is pretty, pretty good.
