Artist: Dill, Lesley

Throughout the past two decades Dill has experimented with media and strategies to explore language, the body, and what it means to be transformed by an experience. “My most recent exhibitions are about a wide morality—what’s evil, what’s good, and who’s talking about it. I feel that yes, there is evil in the world and evil and ill will are in each of us. We can’t point fingers and say that those people are so mean to each other over there in Rwanda, for example, or that they’re not like us. They are like us. There are moments of wonder in an artwork. That in my mind is grace—grace in the midst of complexity. As in the quote from Kafka that goes, ‘Faith, like a guillotine. As heavy, as light.’”
