About the exhibit
Liza Flores has always been drawn to the potential of paper in the third dimension, as a structure to hold story and meaning. Being a professional illustrator, she understands both the potential and limitation of working with a flat surface. What if you layer these surfaces? This is the question she explores in her exhibit.
Liza uses a collage of acrylic on paper, assembled like a paper tole. Including both existing and new artworks, she continues the theme of stillness, of capturing that which is fleeting. With each artwork, the viewer pauses, then moves on. Within each pause, a moment opens up to a hint of a larger vision.
Also on display are artworks used as illustrations for children's books, like Ang Mabait na Kalabaw, The Star Thrower, and Mga Kuwento ni Lola Basyang's Rosamistica.
