Lily Pisano is a Creative exploring how she and others around her conceptualize
the things that comprise their existence and experiences in the world--visibly,
psychically, and otherwise. Using processes associated with fiber, steel, and paint
as her primary mediums, Lily aims to visualize and immortalize our memetic
tendencies that coexist with understandings of ourselves, others, and the natural
and fabricated world. Operating under the age-old question, “Why do we do the things
we do?” and other existential philosophies as her guides, Lily aims to unlock novel
associations through the associations of Familiar and commonplace memes. These
things are often taken for granted and rarely acknowledged in everyday life, can
lead to explorations that lead to a utopian mix of clarity and confusion that
transcend the concept of one’s self, entering instead into the realm of the
constructed and assumed “Self.” This, in Lily’s mind, leads to a number of
fantastic possibilities that can concoct a plurality of futures, among
which we may choose to be a part.
