The Record is Far From Complete
​Lilliana Pereira
​March 26th - May 1st

​contact kim@elephantroomgallery.com or 312-361-0281 with any inquiries
Lillianna Pereira of Northampton, MA brings her narrative collage work to Chicago in an exhibition of several framed paper compositions.  Pereira's inspiration for her work is mythology and collage is her medium.  Pereira pulls images from magazines, newspapers, books and other printed materials in order to deconstruct and reassemble them into a collage.  The personal unconscious guides her composition, while the meaning of the pieces emerge to form a narrative.  The narratives bring a darker content of uninhibited perspective to these beautiful images that are so delicate in appearance.   Much of her work reflects the female experience in society, by juxtaposing these forms with loaded imagery of other objects and  forms.  The language of myth allows for the imagery to be read universally, but allows room for those interpretations to extend beyond Pereira's intentions.  The viewer is asked to interpret the narrative by not only examining the literal images within the work, but by observing how those images, now brought together through Pereira's perspective, reflect the societal, emotional and cultural elements found in the materials that were so carefully chosen.
