Lyza Baum’s work as a textile and interdisciplinary artist is dependent on the context of the place and community which surrounds her, often addressing the personal and collective relationships to our built and natural environment. Through community engaged collaborations, textiles, photography, video, and performance, she investigates the trauma, tension, and complex symbiotic connections between the body and land we occupy. Often looking at environmental and sociopolitical ruptures, Lyza draws on metaphors between cloth, skin, and earth. Through durational performances and ritualistic practices, such as mourning rituals, she aims to create space for healing, empathy, and contemplation.
