alyssa lizzini is an artist from cleveland, ohio whose work explores concepts of social geography and community engagement through on-location drawing. lizzini's layered images are inspired by her own archival, ethnographic, and visual research of city spaces. in the studio, she utilizes drawing, painting, and printmaking techniques to create visually complex images that mirror the complexity of our social and spatial world. “the gully (my former baseball diamond)”, featured in this series by restorartive, explores the way that spaces become reclaimed and repurposed over time, resulting in layers of history and context only visible to those who have watched this change happen. In lizzini’s drawings, buildings seem to fly apart, implode, overlap, and entangle themselves with memory objects and people- all of which points to the constant state of flux and simultaneity that we experience in city spaces. lizzini graduated with a bachelor of fine arts from the cleveland institute of art in 2022.
