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: ‘I wanted to subvert the traditional still life and use a more intuitive mark. Marks can be not just descriptive, but form an autonomous language which can compress complex content. Through adjustment, deconstruction and reconstruction similar forms become disparate objects.’
