About
Lilly Foster-Eardley's art practice delves into exploring and interpreting the intricacies of the natural world through the creation of sculpture and immersive installation. Whether fabricating felted and sewn animals, wooden bins or clay banana skins these static artworks are also brought to life through stylised animation shorts. Foster-Eardley’s depiction of unique characterisation and storytelling draws parallels between the natural world and our 21st-century civilisation, like our adaptation to the lives we now lead, animals have followed - just as civilisation has become obsessed with the fast food industry and confectionary, animals have followed suit routing through our rubbish and feasting on their own burger and fries. Foster-Eardley emphasises the adaptation of wild creatures and this peculiar and humorous imitation within the context of urbanisation. Through her multi-disciplinary practice, she explores an alternate reality where animals take on more human-like characteristics, adjusting their behaviour and their natural habitats to survive the dynamic environment dominated by humans.
'Urban Pest' explores the urbanisation of wild animals from a futuristic lens. the installation delves into concept of urban exploiters, such as the rat, racoon, pigeon along with an array of bugs adapting to city life by consuming food from its streets. Through this transformation, the animal's become anthropomorphic figures, symbolizing their resilience and evolution within the urban environment. The piece explores the intersection of nature and urbanization, offering a futuristic perspective on how wildlife adapts and thrives from human domination. Foster-Eardley's artwork puts the animal at the forefront and through its satirical lens makes us look deeper at the wildlife that inhabits our city's.
