When you visit the web­site of Liesl Pfef­fer, her love for pho­tog­ra­phy is imme­di­ately appar­ent. She infuses it in nearly all of her works. The Aus­tralian artist com­bines draw­ing over pho­tographs, sten­cils on fab­ric (printed on pho­to­graphic paper), and finally col­lage land­scapes on white paper, using abstracted pho­tog­ra­phy to build an image.

The land­scapes that Liesl has cre­ated are of stark con­trast to her other work. They are also the pieces that I enjoy the most. I love the com­bi­na­tion of shape design and the impli­ca­tion of tex­ture in each shape laid on the paper. The abstrac­tion in each piece are sums of a won­der­ful whole and cre­ates a cohe­sive image.

Aside from her art­work, Liesl is also in a band called Lion Park. Check them out if you are look­ing for some new tunes.
