Small Pleasures

“My art is about storytelling. I’m interested in blurring the line between illustration and fine art where I enjoy testing perceptions of reality and fantasy. I take inspiration from poetry, film and human encounters to parse upon the quotidian and attempt to conjugate a sense of performance often with surreal interactions. My recent work plays with the juxtaposition between our temporary existence, and things like, the infrangibility of everyday objects, or the awkwardness in the minutiae of the everyday. I try not to be downbeat about any of this, instead I like to set it free with humour and the absurd.” - Kirsty Lackie, 2021
