As a celebration of the newly recreated Hammond Garden chess board, Serious Play is a solo exhibition of hand-made chess sets and individual sculptures.
Lisa Breznak is a sculptor who often works in miniature. Displayed singularly or in multiples as larger installations, her work creates a personal and extended narrative of the joys and pitfalls of modern life and demonstrates that beauty, humor, ideas, and significance are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
In this series she has turned to the concept of chess as a symbol of our turbulent times of violence, conflict, and class divide.
