CV
Lisa Panting
“The work grapples with the metaphysical and the infinite, and journeys into the realm of the symbolic where we can exist momentarily before being plummeted back into a world of empirical experience. There is an inherent romanticism in this sensibility, the desire for which seems almost anachronistic in this cynical age.”
Alison Gill studied sculpture at Brighton University and the Royal College of Art and lives and works in London.
