Lisa Metherell

Biography

Lisa Metherell is an artist and lecturer specialising in the relationship between practice and theory within Art and Design.  Her work has particularly been informed by the tensions between queer theory and phenomenology and how what we ‘know’ might be usefully troubled by what we ‘feel’.  This has been explored through provisional embodiments in encounters with non-representational art. She has written about queer unspeakability using the trope of the werewolf and devised projects that explore alternative kinships. An emerging interest in vulnerability, love and care went to hell in a handcart in Covid.
