ARTIST STATEMENT

Art is about exploration. The work that I create is about constantly exploring new materials, new physical locations and new methods. It is also about exploring myself and how I interact and relate to those materials, locations and methods that I love discovering. I work in silk, metal and canvas and each piece offers a rich landscape of textures, colors and contrasts to consider. Whether it’s the technical restraint of working with titanium or the demand to push the boundaries on traditional canvas, I love a good problem to solve. Ultimately, that’s what I hope my art can accomplish–solving a problem one step at a time with an interesting and compelling solution.

Larissa offers two series of work, one in fibers and the other in traditional painting.
