Lillian Blades: Fragmental Reflections
Thru November 1
My artistic journey revolves around the exploration of connections—how elements relate to one another aesthetically and structurally. This tactile way of making invites introspection, evokes emotion, and offers a unique pathway to self-discovery, ultimately tethering the viewer to the timeless tapestry of human experience.
I investigate the profound nature of these experiences and their impact on our perception. This body of work showcases visually compelling pieces comprised of mirrors and a labyrinth of meticulously woven tapestry-like veils. Each serves as a gateway to contemplation, allowing viewers to see reflections of themselves. These elements guide them on a metaphorical journey, encountering hidden narratives and symbolic representations.
On a physical level, I want the viewer to engage intimately with the reflective twinkle of light, gaining insight and experiencing moments of self-discovery; seamlessly integrating themselves into the abstracted, textural, color scape. This immersive experience encourages introspection and a heightened sense of self-awareness.
Ultimately, “Fragmental Reflections” enables a deep and meaningful engagement with the intricate fabric of human existence while enchanting viewers with the nuanced complexities of the human experience.
