Lily Cummins

Opens Wednesday 10 July
Runs 11 – 21 July 2019

We’re so happy to have Lily Cummins back again for her 2019 solo exhibition at Scratch. Lily’s practise crosses drawing and installation using spatial experiences and memory as a trigger. Based in Sydney, she graduated with a Masters of Fine Arts from the National Art School in 2017.

Lily Cummins is in a wave of contemporary Artists across the globe who push the boundries of form and medium. She takes elements from drawing, texture, and architecture, often also using words in lyrical and inventive ways. 

After undertaking an Art Residency at Pilotenkueche International Art Program located in an abandoned perfume factory Lily expanded upon the residual, often romanticised, trace fabric / elements of a temporal space.  Moving between expansive wall drawing to intimate collages, Cummins sits within a wave of contemporary artists who are pushing the definitions of what drawing is in our time. 

Lily’s current body of work deals with memory, structure, loss, erasure and the subsequent rebuilding that must inevitably occur after affliction. Her work reticulates architectural elements with organic, abstract shapes, delicate line and text forms. These seemingly inconsequential word relationships can jolt a series of images that long to be exposed, to make sense of her reality,  explore her surroundings and to create a new visual language.
