An exhibition by Devon based multi-disciplinary artist Lilly Caldwell.
Lilly is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Devon. Through domestic materiality and form, she examines both interior and exterior environments to relay her deep-rooted feelings for the Devonshire landscape as an extension of home, a place of comfort and therapy. Usually seeking out both their common ground and tensions, Lilly presents a reconfiguration or deconstruction of these environments within a gallery space or at a specific site. Lilly’s playful re-placement of artwork, both domestic and rural, in the Devonshire landscape and the gallery enables her to explore the dissipation of the boundaries between interior and exterior spaces.
‘My practice continually gathers many layers of meaning and purpose. These layers allude to escapism, permanence and impermanence, grief, the therapeutic, domestic, and site-specific storytelling. These layers are in tension with one another but also have a point of cohesion as they all reflect my codependent ecology with the Devonshire landscape and natural environment. I explore these layers through photography (both analogue and digital), sculpture, textiles, painting, and print.’
