The yarn portrait entitled "Catching the Red Eye" is a celebration of vibrant colors with a fun play on words from artist Lisa Larson. It received a blue ribbon for Decorative Arts at the Minnesota State Fair in 2022. The blue ribbon comes with the portrait.

Lisa Larson – Artist's Statement

In 2018, after retiring from a decades-long profession largely devoid of visual aesthetics, I began creating abstract images composed of solid planes of colored yarn. Working back to front, and sculpting yarn with dressmaker’s shears, I broke rules I never knew about, and relied on techniques that I taught myself.

Ironically, seeing new possibilities depends on repetition. Over time, I have learned more about the yarn, its colors, textures, tensile strength, and malleability. I mostly use yarn remnants from projects of other textile artists, a practice in sustainability that invites serendipity and embraces the unexpected.

Inspiration comes from many places: statues, photographs, prints, paintings, textiles, graffiti, and passing figures. I prefer portraits and profiles, perhaps because we are hard-wired to look at people’s faces. My perceptions of a face inform the portrait’s title, often inspired by current affairs and wordsmithing.

The yarn portrait entitled "Talking in Circles" is about politicians who propose nonsense programs and policies that fail and turn out to be very costly for everyone.
