Lisa-Marie Harris is a contemporary artist from Trinidad & Tobago, living and working in London. Her work addresses the objectification of women by interrogating how their bodies are reduced to functional surfaces, stretched and reassembled into contested sites of desire and extraction. Combining organic materials (such as raw linen, calabash, and archival leather) with deconstructed industrial parts and metals reclaimed from the domestic spaces of feminine labour (apartment intercoms, babystrollers, highchairs, etc), Harris' work is informed by a personal history of motherhood and reproduction; Trinidadian and Afro-Caribbean culture, mythology, ecology and migration.
Winner of the Ingram Prize 2022, Harris had her first institutional solo exhibition The Pusher and The Pull at Lightbox Gallery Museum, Woking, UK in July 2023. Her first UK solo exhibition took place at Cooke Latham Gallery in June 2023. Previous group exhibitions include Raw Nerves, Hannah Barry Gallery, London, Detritus, Tension Gallery, London, Curved Space, PEER Gallery, London, Ingram Prize, Unit1 Gallery | Workshop, London. She was the recipient of the Helen Scott Lidgett Award in 2022, and the Jane Carole Clarke Memorial Award, 2021.
