Lily Cummins is an artist based in the Southern Highlands, NSW. She works with a combination of abstract and recognisable forms, questioning the idea of representation and creating a dream-like patchwork of memory. A language of marks and shapes defines Lily’s work as she observes her surroundings and translates them into drawings.

Lily says of this work: ‘Within my work I explore the concept of memory or perhaps more specifically the idea of forgetting. Memory is fleeting and difficult to grasp and holes appear where once there was something of substance. This imagined landscape is driven by the idea of forgetting; gaps and blank spaces appear where memory is impossible to recall and long vertical lines are used to show the passage of time.’
