'SJÓTTELSPLAK' IS ALL ABOUT THE CONTRAST BETWEEN DARKNESS AND NEATNESS. THIS GREW FROM LISA'S INTEREST IN PHOTOGRAPHY AND FILM, PARTICULARLY THE WORK OF DAVID LYNCH AND WILLIAM EGGLESTON. THEIR WORK SHOWS SOME KIND OF SWEETNESS AND INNOCENCE, BUT THERE IS A DARK EDGE THAT INTRIGUES HER. TEXTILE EXPERIMENTS BASED ON EGGLESTON’S BATHROOM PHOTOGRAPHY LEAD HER TO AN OBSCURE ATMOSPHERE. KITCHEN AND BATHROOM ELEMENTS ALSO REFER TO THE FEMALE IMAGE CENTRAL TO HER COLLECTION. THIS IS BEST DESCRIBED AS A SELF-CONFIDENT AND NEUROTIC HOUSEWIFE WHO AT FIRST SIGHT LOOKS CUTE AND INNOCENT BUT ACTUALLY HAS A VERY DARK EDGE, LOADED WITH SEX APPEAL.

‘SJÓTTELSPLAK’ OFFERS THE POSSIBILITY TO TAKE A LOOK INTO THE OBSCURE WORLD THAT LISA HAS CREATED FOR HERSELF. THE COLLECTION PROVIDES INSIGHT ON HER VIEW ON THE FEMALE IMAGE, IN THIS CASE RELATED TO THE SELF-CONFIDENT AND NEUROTIC HOUSEWIFE.
