Biographyedit
Born in 1967 in Ann Arbor, Michigan Auerbach currently resides in Los Angeles.[1]
Careeredit
Auerbach has been making knitted pieces since completing her undergraduate degree at the Art Center of Design in 1994. Photography was the discipline she studied for her MFA, however, due to lack of access to a darkroom, she used knitting as a cost-effective way to make art.[2]
Workedit
Knit works, zines, newsletters and a 5-foot-tall magazine titled American Megazine are all part of her body of work.[1] Her Knitting patterns are often created digitally and created with a knitting machine.[3][4] "While Auerbach's slogans and signs are politically blunt, her humor infuses the work with subtlety, goofiness, mockery, and self-depreciation—sometimes all at once"[1]

Projects and Worksedit
Lisa Anne Auerbach's Body Count Mittens depict a gun with a date and a number that is the accumulative number of American soldiers killed in Iraq. There is a different date and count on each individual mitten for the day knitting started on each. The instructions and the pattern for the mittens, along with a website for checking the daily American casualties, is listed publicly on a knitter's forum, allowing the public to make their own pair.[7]
