My name is Lillian Henry.
My work as an artist explores the intersection of my personal experience growing up as a woman in the South with religious and philosophical themes, particularly as they relate to shame, purity culture, and gender roles. Using oil paint allows me to create texture and dimension where I can mix my own unique colors to reflect the nuances of these themes with a forgiving medium. In my sculpture works, I embrace the organic process of working with my hands, allowing each piece to evolve without rigid planning. I like my work to leave room for mystery and wonder for my audience. While I hope my work resonates with others, I also love the moments when my work leaves people confused and prompts deeper thought and reflection.
