Biography
Lily Palmer is an emerging artist focusing on the materiality of graphite. In her drawings marks proliferate and mesh outwards representing an imaginary, metamorphic landscape. Finely drawn and woven lines create sprawling filigrees of darkness and lightness and swarm in recursive fusion imbuing the tones of night over constructed strange terrains. She pairs the molecular properties of graphite with layered and latticed codes in which beauty, alienation and astonishment are drawn together from nature, and where everything, in fact is something else. Either dissolving in the Borgesian ‘sands of time’ or encrusted with the magnificent diploria labyrinthiformis, also known as brain coral, her graphite automatism frames a poetic complexity that invites the viewer to look more deeply into another intricate and illusionary world. Influenced by the literary realms of natural philosophy, ancient mythology and the natural world, her oeuvre is an affirmative splitting apart of form and structure, where graphite’s transmutative capacity is realised on paper.
