Lisa Black is a sculptor, jeweller and artist based in Auckland, New Zealand, born in Australia in 1982.

Her love of animals and their form, combined with a preoccupation with an imminent future where technology and biology are intimately combined, led her to create her ongoing series of modified animals. [...]
Her work is a reflection of our undeniable technological progression; seeing animals with carefully integrated mechanical additions encourages us to reassess how we define “natural”.
By creating beauty within this supposed paradox, she challenges the concept of a world separated into the ‘sacrosanct’ natural and ‘vulgar’ industrial.

“My work is a constant battle between my want to be creatively expressive or explosive whilst at the same time being extremely calculated and literally conceptual. There’s an on-going desire just to draw, paint or sculpt but there’s also this extremely painfully analytical mind. It’s like I suffer from it at times, I can’t switch it off and I have to make sense of everything, the two sides contradict themselves at times.”

The Balloon Russian Roulette:

“Less ‘bang bang you’re dead,’ more ‘boing, pop, you’re slightly deaf.’ The Balloon Russian Roulette is a harmless version of classic Russian Roulette, taking away the blood, murder case and disposal of a body.Ideal Birthday and Christmas gifts, Balloon Russian Roulette involves pointing a ‘gun’ at another persons head with a balloon attached to the front, pulling the trigger will either produce nothing…or a pin that pops the balloon!An ideal party game for any occasion, have a blast with our Balloon Russian Roulette. Ideal for James Bond, cowboy or gangster themed parties, get the event started off with a bang thanks to this Russian Roulette game! If pin the tail on the donkey and musical statues isn’t your kind of thing, organise a game of Balloon Russian Roulette. Why not personalize your game like us and put whipped cream or chocolate sauce in the balloon before inflating it. Messy but hilarious!”
