Hanne Lillee: Breeders
Breeders presents a new series of monotype prints examining biomorphic and microbial forms of simple organisms, with a particular focus on their growth and proliferation. In addition to studying the extraordinary shapes and structures, Lillee is intrigued by the cultural dynamics found within them
Microscopic organisms dominate life on earth, but largely go unseen. There is no waste in nature, and they release and recycle nutrients that no other life could exist without. Most commonly they rely on decaying and decomposing matter for their own survival, whilst others survive through infesting living bodies, making them both allies and enemies to other forms of life.
Lillee鈥檚 artistic enquiry takes inspiration from these paradoxical themes in order to explore the complexities of the living and the organic, as she looks at themes of putrefaction and procreation, and the repetitive force that turns damage and decay into rebirth and regrowth. These monotypes are an abstracted interpretation of various microscopic life such as prokaryotes, eukaryotes and fungi.
