About
Lily Woodhouse is a British-born Cantonese artist based in London whose textile practice explores the boundaries of perception and attention. She works primarily with knitting, approaching it as a dialogue shaped by the constraints and character of each material. Utilising archaeological methods, Lily engages intimately with the everyday. By constructing installations that invite viewers to notice what is often overlooked, her work aims to foster deeper sensitivity to the transient.
Everything, Already There
'Everything, Already There' is a material investigation into the fabric of the everyday. Originating from an interest in acts of noticing, the project uses archeological methods to investigate a site within Chelsea College of Arts. Fragments of material and visual data were collected and translated into textiles which evoke the textures and colours of the ground. The resulting installation quietly replaces a section of the parade ground with knitted fabric. This intervention disrupts our expectations of the space, encouraging viewers to imagine reality as something that can stretch and shift. By zooming in to what's beneath our feet, the work reveals miniature world of detail, prompting reflection on how we relate to our surroundings.
