LISA HOKE: Relative Uncertainty

Published on Oct 24, 2024

Kathryn Markel Fine Arts

Lisa Hoke’s oeuvre frames ordinary detritus as raw materials in a labor-intensive process of creation. She states, “Early in my art making life, I realized I could use what I know and how I live as source material.” (The Artful Mind, 2022) Working between expansive installations and diminutive collages, Hoke repurposes the ephemera of daily life. Hoke’s practice of recycling–or, rather, reinvention–calls attention to the nature of the consumer experience, the material ramifications of which are often overlooked. Indeed, Hoke’s artistic practice is predicated on an endless supply of materials: That is, the abundant availability of consumer debris. In repurposing these materials, Hoke not only does her part in keeping detritus from landfills, but she also calls attention to the average consumer’s gargantuan impact. Relative Uncertainty will feature both large-scale installations and collages.
