Liliana Pasalic

For Liliana Pasalic, life is a source material, a tapestry of its own which has seen her build a life across Croatia, the UK, Australia, and Switzerland; time spent in each place has shaped her understanding of both urban and natural environments. Woven throughout the works are symbolic residues, moments infused with references to the built and natural world.

The making process oscillates between various mediums: photography, painting, drawing, textiles, and the found object – there is no singular or linear order. Slipping between mediums allows her to formulate her own view of the world, its complexities, and the way she operates as an artist within it.

Says Pasalic of this work, "This work belongs to a series of wall sculptures that consider the overlaps between painting, sculpture and drawing, drawing tension from hardness and softness, masculine and feminine, freedom and control. Soft, flowy fabric meets steel and screws; freedom and movement meet restriction and limitation. The background represents environment, drawing from landscape."
