Facades and Fading originated as a research project into
the residential architecture of San Francisco’s Victorian and
Edwardian houses. The facades, sometimes pristine and
sometimes weathered, embodied a cognisance of the city’s
physical language that spoke of geometry, colour and the
metaphysical construct of balance and harmony.
These paintings were made at Root Division, San Francisco
where Lila was a resident studio artist and the Firstdraft Depot
residency, Sydney, 2011. The works are situated within the
spiritual context of the Bay Area’s west coast consciousness
and some of its artists who explored elements of the counter-
culture and both lyrical and formal abstraction.
The show continues until November 12, 2011
