Life-changing moments have informed the tenor of Camie Lyons’ new show that displays a loosening of her signature lyrical forms.
WHAT WAS THE INSPIRATION FOR YOUR NEW WORK AND EXHIBITION 'UNTETHERED'?
‘Untethered’ is an extension of my practice, but there has been a very deliberate shift. I wanted to loosen up, feel unshackled and make more exploratory forms. To let the lines and ideas run from me. To enter a new space.
THE TITLE SUGGESTS A SENSE OF FREEDOM – DID YOU FEEL THAT?
Now I’m at the other end of making this show, yes, I definitely feel a new freedom, and that’s great. But this work was made during a time of huge internal upheaval in my life. I felt I was freefalling and out of control and that can be both terrifying and liberating. I think I’ve found a new courage during the making of this body of work.
YOU ARE BRINGING WISDOM AND NEW EMPATHY TO THIS WORK. CAN YOU DISCUSS THAT?
