Liza Lou...using tweezers

Liza Lou‘s art may look amazing, but it came with a high price for the artist. She was diagnosed with acute tendinitis while she was working on “Kitchen”, because she applied every glass bead individually, using tweezers. She uses only beads brought in from the Czech Republic and considers them the most beautiful beads in the world.

so does tweezers imply its glue?? not sure i will keep researching....


YES SHE DID...

During the five years that Liza Lou spent making her first major artwork—a life-size replica of a suburban kitchen, in which she hand-glued millions of glittering glass beads onto every surface, from the appliances to the dirty dishes in the sink—she got used to being dismissed, and at times despised, by people in the art world.

“Liza’s work is an imitation of life, where nothing is real,”

i like this quote...it fits with our idea of imitation well
