Artist Lizzie Gill utilizes still life compositions to delve into themes of matriarchal lineage and the evolving significance of inherited objects. Her vibrant works juxtapose familiar domestic scenes with surreal imagery, introducing uncanny elements through layered textures and image transfers from her mother's porcelain collection. By embedding dynamic interactions—like animals amidst vibrant floral displays and unexpected scenes of natural disasters—Gill challenges traditional perceptions of domesticity. Currently, she is researching historic textiles to inform her upcoming works, showcasing her ongoing commitment to exploring these themes in her solo exhibition, 'Paraphernalia.'
To have something be uncanny, you must first introduce the familiar," says Lizzie Gill.
The still life, Gill says, is her preferred platform for exploring the tenets of Surrealism and what it means to be a steward.
