Caught between the hectic knots of Capitalism’s omnipresence intercepting and disrupting our being, Crimson DM Lily seeks to untangle the messy macro entity by obsessing over the micro. Adopting this attitude into her skillset - the warp - she works across textiles, garment construction, film, digital collage, drawing and writing. At the same time, she interweaves threads from her research - the weft - including: familial mythmaking, geographical belonging, dialectical tensions, selfhoods, landscapes of love, patriotism and handling fabric as an organism. This sometimes leads her to collaborate with musicians (Adwaith + Thigh High), sometimes with colour, sometimes just her thoughts. Wherever she wanders, Crimson DM Lily ensures she is firmly rooted in amongst the fibres of her fascination. 


“Having a bag into which I put everything I encounter, provided I am also put in a bag.” Gilles Deleuze


Born in Devon to parents from the North, she now finds herself based in London where she co-curates the writing platform ‘Work for What,’ and teaches Constructed Textiles at Goldsmiths whilst being the head of Sales and Digital at Phoebe English.


She has exhibited work and given lectures and talks across the UK, including: Alchemy Film and Moving Image festival; Bermondsey Project Space; Worcester University; Safehouse; Mezzanine.
