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: ‘Using my memories as a starting point I began looking at the home I grew up in and started loosely examining the concept of home itself. My home, a once anonymous place in pre-memory, lost in the world became anthropomorphic, intensely alive and imbued with human qualities. Therefore, my childhood home becomes another character, an integral part of trying to piece together forgotten places.’
