Hello, my name is Lacee Hodge.
I am an interdisciplinary artist working in multimedia. My practice involves documenting my surroundings and transforming my life experiences into my own interpretations and meaningful expressions through various mediums, including; drawing, digital mediums, ceramics, oil and acrylic paint, sewing, collage, sculpture and performance.
My work explores a range of themes, including philosophy, craftsmanship, aesthetics, self making, belonging, perseverance, consistency, cosmic harmony, connection, and experimentation.
