During the residency Lise exhibited in the Foyer Gallery, Canberra School of Art. From floorplans sent to Denmark the exhibition was planned considering the space, light and flow of traffic through the space. The weavings are woven with lightweight materials in open structures so can easily be rolled up and packed as hand luggage. The entire exhibition weighed 23 kg. The work follows modernist design theories of abstraction and refinement adhering to traditions of weaving in Denmark which place emphasis on simplicity and quality.
Technical correctness is vital to the success of work in the crafts in Denmark.
The Danish national character and environment also come through clearly in the work. This contemporary dance production and Lise's exhibition had so much in common - cool control and unmistakable perfection, no extraneous detail, pure to the core of honest ideals. As a private person, I like to teach, listen and discuss, but I intend my work to neither teach nor tell. As Australians we found the design element strong in the Danish work in contrast to the bold narratives of textiles originating here. The project set followed Bauhaus principals of experimentation with materials.
