Lizz's Project Statement:
I am hiding all year round is an unfinished collection of experiments for disappearing my body in public space.
It includes a wardrobe of full-body camouflage suits based on where I live, made using a homemade pattern software I built. With garments for fall, winter, summer, and spring, I can adapt to the color palettes of each season and hide all year long. These experiments use camouflage as a literal and embodied metaphor for refusing to be legible.
Visit I am Hiding for an interactive look and opportunity to generate your own patterns for disappearing.

Lizz's Artist Statement:
I’m an artist, programmer, and aspiring teacher. These practices provide different strategies for unraveling my own being in the world and different performances of looking and being seen.
My work often starts with drawing as an intuitive exploration and reflection. These sketches evolve into wearable readymades, hand-drawn zines, performative videos, interactive programs, and other objects that allow me to live inside them. I try to create metaphors large enough I can walk into them. Taking dreams and metaphors seriously (and literally) allows me to test and stretch their meanings.
Lately, I've been researching internet networks and exploring technology skillshare as an exercise in imagination. I'm developing workshops about a privacy-enhancing and censorship-circumvention tool called Tor as a way to talk about how power is distributed in networking infrastructure and to invest in more playful, homemade internets.
