Lise Silva Gomes

Sacred Knots

The Made in Indy podcast sits down to chat with Artist, Author, and Educator, Lise Silva Gomes. Lise shares with us what it was like growing up in Southern California & how she adjusted to relocating to the Circle City at the age of 10. She reflects on how growing up in Indianapolis, & attending schools with rich artistic resources allowed her to develop her palette. We explore the many mediums and skill-sets she has mastered over the years + The importance of developing different aspects of your work in order to support yourself as an artist.

The Bay Area based artist reveals how she tapped into the idea of knotting as a form of communication & visual representation to inspire her work with “Sacred Knots.” She began the endeavor by following her intuition, and not looking at the craft as a commercial venture. We dive into what the year 2020 has revealed to her so far + How the pandemic has served as an opportunity for us all to take a step back & breathe.

Later, we get a first look at her up new book, “Sacred Knots: Create, Adorn, & Transform Through the Art of Knotting.”
