Kylie Stillman is best known for her book sculptures and woodcarvings. Stillman uses scalpel blades, jigsaws, sewing materials and drills to alter objects and create negative spaces that depict ‘signs of life’. Birds, plant life and the artist’s own scribbles are frequently used as subject matter. Her inventive artworks draw from both modern art and craft traditions to transform ordinary materials into works of art.
This exhibition of Stillman’s recent work includes a site specific wall based artwork as well as her intricate works on paper and sculptures.
