Lilli Waters: Orpheus

Orpheus features a series of ten large-scale photographs and moving image artworks by artist Lilli Waters, which were elaborately constructed underwater using shells, fish, and flowers, and the female form. The striking subjects emerge from a dark waterscape to create an otherworldly ethereal visual.

Works are reminiscent of the Dutch masterpieces of the seventeenth century and a reminder of the transitory nature of everything. Floating alongside the blossoms are jewel-like creatures, and shells, dramatically shrouded by golden nets, and sheets of suffocating cellophane.
