Lise Sore creates autobiographical work in which the viewer is privy to extremely vulnerable experiences. Self-portraits on a monumental scale are created after capturing emotional moments. Metersize canvases of transparent cotton, tinted with graphite, blow loose in space. The depiction shows a nude portrait in a huddled position whose emotion is tangibly present. The work is understated and outspoken at the same time and very personal in nature. Taking a closer look at Lise Sore’s work can be an overwhelming experience. Sore closely examines the images captured before transforming them into hyper-realistic drawings in which the viewer is taken into the emotional realm. Memories and their influence on identity play an important role in the work. What role do these have in experiencing and creating one’s own environment?
