Basking in the In Between

  • Lillie Durant

Part of the ongoing series 'A Sublime Existence'. The series ‘A Sublime Existence’ imagines a mysterious world made of a species of not-quite-human beings living amongst nature. The world exists as a strange coexistence of what I supposed would religiously be deemed Hell, Earth and Heaven. In this planet, all three realms exist as one. The pieces I have created seek to evoke the blurring of these boundaries, through the depiction of humanoid dwellers caught in the moment within their world. They are humanly, divine and demonic at the same time. My intention is to challenge the religious notions of the divine, the human and the hellish all being separate entities. In this world, morals don’t exist. But neither does the immoral. Sacred and sinful, beautiful and disturbing all live together as one, harmoniously within their own sublime existence.
