Liz Awesome
Liz is a conceptual artist whose practice, “a love letter to the future,” is rooted in the “here and now” of Sacramento. Using digital pentimento, charcoal, and stained textiles, he connects materials like post-consumer trash and found objects to community needs.
His work explores themes of resistance, disability, and queer solar punk Judaica.
