Of her recent work, Lisa Hoke states, "My work operates in the slippage between discrete objects and installations, using materials drawn from the overlooked ephemera of our daily lives. Since 2004, my focus has been large-scale mural installations and wall reliefs that highlight the intensely synthetic color and texture of all manner of disposable materials. I collect, reshape, and arrange these materials augmenting them with acrylic felt scraps, all organized around highly keyed and saturated color, extracting them from their marketed use and transforming them into my own systems and building blocks of color, shape, and pattern.
Turn and Lucky Lights are two new wall reliefs, working within a rectangular boundary. Lucky Lights was built to turn the corner in the gallery and links a new sculpture to the fold. I construct layers to create a patterned density that contributes to an overall field of visual cacophony. Occasional breakouts and cut aways, especially with Lucky Lights, echo ever growing over production. My drawings are inspired and include a collection of vintage advertising decks of cards."
