About Me


Lisa Mei Ling Fong & Eerie Art
Lisa Mei Ling Fong is an Assemblage Artist and a world traveler. She assembles and arranges her international collections of relics in her signature "Introversion Boxes" to create sentimental memorials. By composing themes real and imagined, she perpetually develops the importance of what memory is as it relates to our fleeting existence.
She states: "My artwork is my journal entry: a personal note on the efforts of a life that must inevitably traverse a timeline that is terminal. Death is what reminds me to live - not as an empty and floating being, but as a temporal entity that can touch all of what is around me. My Introversion Boxes are Celebrations of Life by Celebrating Death."
Lisa has traveled to 27 countries and resides in a giant warehouse in San Francisco where the Eerie Art Workshop is in full operation. She is represented by Strychnin Gallery Berlin/New York City/London.
