Praise of Pippa
Photos and film shot and directed by darling artist Philippa Lim. Pippa is truly a visionary artist. With a dedication to her work so tangible and her passion so palpable on the canvas she is able to contain an entire little world in a single photo. In her film photography she captures, with dewey eyes, the delicate; It is as though the photo is a child holding out her hands to show you a butterfly emerging from a chrysalis. In her upcoming project Pippa is exploring the intimacy in the bedrooms of people she loves, documenting them with a profound sensitivity to the nuances of personal spaces. Exploring the interplay between memory, identity, and the passage of time, Pippa's upcoming project delves into the sanctuary that is ones private space. Link:
"I don't like to include too much of myself in my own projects and so for this I wanted to focus it on the ones closest to me as they are reflections of myself"
When I am faced with Pippa's art I often find myself in a haze for days at a time. It becomes all consuming, I find myself confronting the human need to create, creating, reflecting, crying, making art, destroying it, making love, finding myself, and repeating the process all over again
