Lily Cummin’s, The Offering, is part of her latest series, There was a time before you, there will be a time after you. Lily says of the work: “The Offering could be a twin to The Quickening in, that they both feature the hybrid creature and the net motif. In this work the creature appears to be appeasing the ominous form of the net by making an offering to it.”

Lily’s practice is intuitive and relies on her imagination to conjure up scenes of nostalgia for a memory the audience will never know or a place they have never been. However, the familiarity of these enigmatic places is deliberate as Lily draws on her own memories to weave a dream-like patchwork of dissonant colours and marks.
