WATERCOLOR, DRAWINGS & KINETIC SCULPTURE

Anne Lilly is a visual artist based in Boston, Massachusetts. A peripatetic childhood took her through five states in the American West — a rich diversity of natural landscapes made perversely uniform by the overlay of the cardinal grid. This early imprinting informs her work across a broad range of media: abstract kinetic sculpture (from studio pieces to public art); two dimensional work in watercolor, acrylic, oil, and monotype; and most recently, figurative clay. Throughout, she brings precise rationalist constructs — geometry, grids, and gradients — into direct conflict with randomness, distortion, and emotional sensation.
