Lisa Black (born 1982) is a sculpture artist and jeweller based in Auckland, New Zealand. Her work often combines taxidermied animals and preserved insects with found metal and sometimes working mechanical parts, [1] and has been described as "Steampunk" art, although she does not use the term herself. [2] She self categorizes her work by adding "Fixed" to the titles of her pieces made to look living, and "Departed" to the pieces made to look deceased. [3] [4] The first work in the Fixed series was Fixed Fawn. Her work has been featured in Marie Claire [5] Magazine, The New Zealand Herald, [1] and the television show New Zealand's Next Top Model.
