Earmarking the residue of daily life, Jilly Frances recognizes the ever-changing nature of time and light, as a mirror, as a mother, as a memory, reflecting back to us moments that are both present and fleeting.
Like you, I am many pieces; stillness and motion, introspection and curiosity, in the clouds and on the ground. I find myself collecting the rough edges of everyday living, recognizing the magic in the unremarkable and letting the debris reveal both the communal and personal nature of our shared human experience. Capturing transience in the form of nuanced portraiture, I continue to take notes in this way, imbuing ephemera with a sense of permanence.
Jilly Frances is a visual artist living, making, and playing in Toronto. Her collections (Skies, Shadows, Ground) are a reflection of existential abstractions, entangling the present with the passing. Jilly’s body of work magnifies the mundane, holds its memory, and reveals the capacity for transcendence within every ordinary thing. Jilly’s creative expressions draw from internal and external landscapes, untamed children, fresh tomatoes, sad songs, and the light of the sun.
