About Liz Awesome

Liz Awesome is a Sacramento-based artist turning trash, light, and memory into portals and tools. Working in layered “digital pentimenti,” stitched plastics, and contemporary Judaica, he transforms liminal spaces and post-consumer materials into objects of care. His work argues, quietly and stubbornly, that repair is a technique—and an inheritance.
