A patient respect for the integrity and potential poetry of an idea distinguishes the practice of established Hunter-based artist Lezlie Tilley.
Memory, stillness and reflection are concentrated in the meaningful patterning (or rhythm), materials and mark-making that constitute each of her carefully resolved works. Most recently, Tilley’s explorations have segued into a sonic dimension with the production of a new music score.
In this exhibition, we see her work evolve from reworked books and A-less texts, to a fully realised composition that resonates with the influence of Phillip Glass and John Cage.
