Ink drawings on continuous feed printer lables
2026
9 X 10.5'
On view now @afterhours.gallery -April 26th. Closing reception 1-5 pm April 25th.
This is the piece that kicked off the begining of our collaborations for our group show Kill Kill Telephone with myself and @mattrkill .
I was inspired by Matt's scanner back camera images coming out of the printer, trying to recreate this mechanical quality of a continuous feed print. The perfection of black ink on paper disrupted by my hands and the motion of the ink dripping,pooling and drying.
Each cell its own image, it is my hope that the viewer can view this work both remotely as a whole but also as a film strip with the eye creating the motion and sense of time.
The title of this piece is inspired by the anxiety of these new systems of registration. The material is familiar and specific to an individual as an address in a mass of address cells. Yet the information is obscured, blacked out and of an unknown purpose.
Huge Ty to @jamie__owens and @benj.amin.al.len
For taking the last photo and helping to put the show together!

A game of telephone played between two people is a feedback loop. Sustained feedback will oscillate, slip in and out of discordance, and become a third thing entirely. In “Kill Kill Telephone”, visual artists Lisa Kill and Matt Reimers Kill collaborate in a feedback loop of painting, collage and experimental installation. Please join us for the Closing Reception, Saturday April 25, 1pm-5pm

“Imagine blowing a wish on a dandelion and you know how they blow apart? Well this is anti-wish because I’m solidifying the dandelion and keeping it… Once they crystallize they exist forever.”
St. Paul based painter, print maker & sculpture artist Lisa Kill @lisa_kill forages the ditches of northern Minnesota for plant and bug life to crystallize.
"It takes 3 days to grow the crystals... and you have this idea in your head to make this sculptural object. But when you pull the crystals out you never know what you’re going to get. I spent all last year obsessed with trying to create perfect spheres but now I just let them become their own form and I love it.”
Lisa realizes the final form of her crystal sculptures by suspending them in the air with fishing line.
“I’m excited to do something modular at After Hours. Because I spend a lot of time in this little room making things that look good for this little room… So it would be fun to go big.”
✨🌻✨ Friday 6pm - 9pm ✨🌻✨
