Lillian Morrissey Textile Artist

In the artist's words:

Lillian Morrissey (*1986 in Sydney) is a Berlin-based textile artist with a background in political science, journalism and community activism. She holds a BA of International Politics from USYD (2009) and a BA of Fine Arts (Painting) from NAS Sydney (2015). Trained in painting, she has turned to the historically feminine craft of embroidered tapestries to sew narrative scenes that often satirically reflect on history, gender and contemporary politics. Lillian regularly exhibits her large scale, hand and pistol embroidered tapestries in galleries in Germany and Australia.
