LILY WAITE

Lily wants you to take a moment with her paintings, peering in, noticing, escaping to a

world of wonky chairs, soft encompassing beds, lit windows and branches which

stretch out to touch you. A world where you can rest…finally

 

Her making stems from my personal overwhelm with the news, politics and social

media, she adapts photos from my archive to create collaged compositions, representing

scenes which don’t exist, as an escape. Interested in the small mundane moments I

observe daily.

 

The intimacy provided by working of small surfaces is integral, allowing the viewer

to have a private moment, to step forward and peer into these small notations of

daily life.

 

These paintings provide a quiet place to land.
