Lisa Corston-Blanche

Lisa Corston-Blanche holds a Diploma in Art and Creativity (Advanced). Over the past 23 years, Lisa has participated in numerous solo and group shows. Her recent major solo exhibition in 2023, 'Womb Women,' showcased life-sized ceramic sculptures. Her current sculptural work of clay and natural oxides is a dedication to the line of one hundred thousand grandmothers that spans out behind her, and all women seeking a way to articulate their truth. "Womb Women was a dedication to all the women in her female ancestral line, to the 100 thousand Grandmothers spanning back through 2.5 million years of humanity: one woman giving birth to the next, on and on through time, until here and now. Each woman with her own personal story, her own voice, and all are woven through her DNA as a collective wisdom that deserves to be honoured." Lisa teaches Open Floor Dance and works within elderly care. She is a mother, grandmother, daughter, and she and her wife are building their home in the Coromandel.
