Tilley Wood
Tilley Wood is an emerging artist whose work spans painting, printmaking, sculpture, installation and performance art.
Growing up in the spotted gum bush of south coast NSW (Yuin Country), Tilley’s work is grounded in a strong sense of community, family and the natural landscape. Her process-driven practice explores the subjective dialogue between artist, subject and work; using paintings to explore personal connections to colour, light, landscape, community and self.
In her own words…
“This is an endeavour in creative sustainability - to create work which personally satisfies. My practice allows me to explore emotional connections to different subjects, both abstracted and figurative. It forms a broader dialogue with my audience, I'm curious of the connections that resonate within a viewer, and the threads of substance that can be uncovered between individuals.”
