LIBBY LLOYD ARE (b 1971)
I create images that explore the "inner self". My metaphysical journey as an artist, explores connections between the spiritual and material world.
My inner direction, curiosity and re-search has directed my attention towards allegorical narratives. This type of symbolic storytelling acts as a bridge between the transcendental and the anthropological in search for the universal. Influenced by the nonsensical and bizarre approach of Dada and Surrealism, I play the directors part in creating fantastical alternative realities and imagine new worlds.
The work invites [you] the spectator to become part of the stage set/s that lay in-between the sublime and the ridiculous - connecting ones' earthly existence with otherworldly, transcendental and spiritual realms of being.
