Liliana Stafford
Artist/sculptor, author/illustrator.
I am a story teller and multimedia artist.
My work is inspired by normal everyday happenings and by seen and unseen world’s colliding – referencing simultaneously the natural world and layered human relations.
I am fascinated by : an invisible wind moving a visible leaf and messages that arrive at midnight demanding to be heard.
My works are created using techniques that seek to purposefully bypass the critical mind. I scribble in notebooks, draw with my non-dominant hand and play with wire. This allows an unconscious process of creating that allows certain complexities to form that may not have initially had the space, or language to.
I do things badly in my own way~ Greyson Perry
Through my work in schools sharing my books I meet many children for whom English is a second language. I also work in indigenous communities. I am concerned for those who struggle to belong whether from race, gender, class or disability. As a storyteller I strive to create a safe place for all of us.
Creation takes place through proficiency, passion and the joy of play~ Geta Bratescu
My art is my life. I use my art to translate the world around me.On an ordinary day I move from painting, sculpture, writing and installation.
