This piece was inspired by a trip to see Ghost Caribou by Thingumajig Theatre.
“A fantastic street act. Giant illuminated creatures, part caribou, part human, roam a mystical world after dark, accompanied by a wild herds-person. As they gather a crowd, they clear a space to perform their other-worldly ceremony. With music, song and shadow puppets they tell stories of lost homes, impossible migrations and seeds of hope before continuing the journey into their hauntingly beautiful dream-world of the night.

As an artist, Lilly finds her inspiration in the rich tapestry of human mythology and the boundless intricacies of the natural world. She works in the traditional storytelling medium of stained glass to create mythical scenes. With its luminous translucence and timeless beauty, stained glass offers the perfect medium for Lilly to express the narratives and aesthetics that have captivated her imagination for years.
She draws inspiration from the folklore of diverse cultures, from the haunting tales of European folklore to the vivid myths of Asia. Through her use of the tiffany technique and sgraffito illustration, she aims to capture the essence of these tales.
Stained glass is a medium that transcends time, inviting us to slow down and immerse ourselves in the contemplation of beauty and symbolism. In each piece she creates, Lilly hopes to inspire a sense of wonder and a renewed connection to the world around us.
