Resonance of Being

Lisa Goessmann
Archival Ink on Watercolor Paper

"This artwork is a living practice in the act of slowing down and returning deeply to the presence of the now. In today's society, we are constantly pushed to scan for what comes next, rushing toward future moments and building an immense amount of anxiety within our bodies and minds. Resonance of Being emerged as a response to these anxieties—born from my own deep calling and desire to find presence and linger within the beautiful relief of the current moment.
Within this piece, I channel my consciousness through breathwork, guiding my hand across the paper. The detailed linework and intricate dot motifs combine rhythmic, intuitive mark-making to celebrate the purest translation of just 'being'. My deepest desire is for you, the viewer, to experience the energetics held within my consciousness and translated into this work. In doing so, I hope you catch glimpses of the very same presence achieved during its creation: the act of fully being with it, being drawn towards it and the true resonance of my presence."

About the Artist

Lisa Goessmann

Pilbara

Lisa Goessmann is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the meditative intersection of discipline and subconscious flow. Holding a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Ryerson University, Lisa’s creative foundation was built through a dedicated career in professional photography. This background in capturing light and form translates into her current practice as a deep sensitivity to composition, contrast, and the granular details of the visual field. Today, Lisa’s work has evolved from the mechanical eye of the camera to the tactile, rhythmic application of archival ink on watercolor paper. Her practice is driven by a "non-thinking" methodology, where the act of drawing—layering thousands of precise lines and stippled dots—becomes a vehicle for meditative focus. Rather than depicting the physical world, she uses fine-liner pens and paintbrushes to map inner energy and emotional resonance. For Lisa, the process is the catalyst. Each piece serves as a living record of presence, where repetitive pattern-making allows energy to flow from the hand to the page, creating "energetic specimens" linked by vital, umbilical connections. Through this labor-intensive ritual, she invites viewers into a space of profound stillness and interconnectedness.
