"Empire" documents two photographs. The first was taken in 1973. It is an image of the artist's sister, father, and pregnant mother at the top of the Empire State Building. The second image was taken in 2005, when the artist moved to New York. The image documents the exact site where her family stood 32 years prior, looking out towards lower Manhattan.

Lisa is based in New York. Recently, she has had one-person exhibitions at GrimmRosenfeld Munich, LAXART in Los Angeles + GrimmRosenfeld New York. Last spring she worked with haudenschildGarage to produce a work in Buenos Aires titled Recoleta.
