Lise Lecerf
I am an emerging artist working with photography, scan art, and mixed media. My practice explores identity, intimacy, and the ways emotional states can become visible through image, colour, and texture.
Working within queer contexts, my practice centres representation, authenticity, and connection. Through collaborative portrait sessions and project-based series such as Queer Friendships, I explore how people show up with and for each other, and how identity is shaped through these relationships.
Through portraiture, I explore the tension between visibility and concealment: how bodies appear, distort, and move within the photographic frame. Rather than presenting identity as fixed, my work creates space for ambiguity, gesture, and emotional presence.
