Lilly’s practice revolves around a cycle of encounter ⟶ intervention ⟶ exchange. The artist contemplates what it is to cultivate a practice of vulnerable disinterest in resolution, leading to a rushed fuelling of ideas. She presents process-based works rejecting labels of ‘outcome’, as her forms often tease implications of movement, flux or material transformation through gestural acts of unmaking or reassembling. Her impulsive ‘spurs’ negotiate creative ideas of care and carelessness in the sometimes indecisive artmaking process, troubling a near delineation between public and private.
