Liza Lou
Liza Lou (born 1969) is an American visual artist best known for producing large-scale work in unlikely and tedious mediums, such as beads.
Lou came to prominence with the 168-square-foot (15.6 m2) work "Kitchen" (1995), a to-scale and fully equipped replica of a kitchen covered in beads.[1] The work took four years to complete and was followed with "Backyard" (1996), for which Lou enlisted the help of volunteers to recreate grass in a 525-square-foot (48.8 m2) model of a backyard.[2]
Lou won the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Fellowship in 2002 and is currently based out of South Africa, where she owns a studio.[3]
