“My work explores the idea of synthesis.  I manipulate contradicting spatial elements such as flatness and illusion to suggest a disoriented context, where the dichotomy becomes an integrated visual reality.  The narrative is based on my own experiences of living in the United States for seventeen years, and concerns dilemmas of my cultural identity.  I wonder how one can truly assimilate into an environment he/she is not from.  I feel mixed emotions of pessimism and optimism.   I am interested in the psychological aspects of how one processes new environments and culture.  In the constant adjustment, I have realized feelings of perplexity, incongruity, and obscurity, are always a part of my psyche.   Ultimately, I want to believe that different cultures can be hybridized and become a unique alternative one.  In this realm, I hope to find a sense of equilibrium.”

These new pieces showcase Terryll’s ability to use color and repetition in new and exciting ways.  We know you want one!

Tallulah Terryll’s work reflects a fascination with the rhythms of everyday life. Even outside of her art practice, the artist is drawn to instances of such repetition, as evidenced by an ongoing project in which she uses a pedometer to measure her number of steps daily and distance traveled, which are then neatly plotted on a graph. Likewise, in the absence of figuration or narrative, Terryll’s repeated round glyphs emerge as patient recordings of time and movement. Read more on her website HERE.
