编织和钩针编织是Lisa Belsky家族世代相传的手艺，从孩提时代起就是Lisa Belsky生活中重要的一部分。编织和钩针编织的行为给她一种强烈的怀旧感和与家庭的联系。Lisa Belsky把这些作品看作是在保留记忆和传统的同时拥抱变化的隐喻。

Knitting and crocheting was passed down through generations of women in Lisa Belsky family and has been an important part of Lisa Belsky life since childhood. The act of knitting and crocheting provides she with a strong sense of nostalgia and a connection to family. Lisa Belsky view this body of work as a metaphor for embracing change while preserving memories and traditions.

Lisa Belsky 的每件作品都是从手工编织或钩编织物开始的。织物经过处理、塑形，然后浸入瓷片中。在烧制过程中，原来的织物会被烧掉，留下陶瓷残留物或曾经存在的记录。现在，这些针脚以粘土的形式保存下来，成为了新物体的结构和质地。在烧制过程中发生的自然运动可能导致塌陷、裂缝、折叠和坍塌。当这些变化发生时，Lisa Belsky接受并欢迎它们，并将它们视为工作的重要组成部分。Lisa Belsky希望自己的作品能唤起观众的熟悉感和好奇心，同时要求人们在日常生活中更深入地欣赏手工制品。

Lisa Belsky each piece begins as hand knit or crocheted fabric. The fabric is manipulated, shaped and then dipped into porcelain slip. During the firing process the original fabric burns away leaving behind a ceramic remnant or record of what was once there. The stitches, now preserved as clay, have become the structure and texture of the new object. A natural movement occurs during the firing process that can result in collapse, split seams, folding and slumping. Lisa Belsky embrace and welcome these changes when they occur and view them as an important part of the work. Lisa Belsky hope that onesefl work will evoke a sense of both familiarity and curiosity in the viewer, while asking for a deeper appreciation of the handmade object when used in day to day life.
