About Lisa Ketty

I work with machine board — the heavy, acid-free cardboard used in framing workshops. It comes to me as surplus material in good condition, and I cut it apart, build it back up in layers and paint it until the board itself becomes the work.

Because the board is acid-free, the works last for years without yellowing or breaking down. Each relief keeps to one colour and a strict geometry, and the shadows from the raised edges shift as the light changes through the day.

I have sold my work at the design markets at Trapholt Kunstmuseum and Finders Keepers, and I sell my original work here on lisaketty.com.
