Mundane – Sacred is a mother-daughter collaborative exhibition by Lily Sellers and Annie Quinlan. Rooted in a shared reverence for the natural world, the exhibition explores the quiet beauty found within the overlooked and the ordinary.
Sellers’ drawings, paintings, and sculptures incorporate found materials such as bark, grasses, and rusted objects. Her landscapes, abandoned structures, and sculptural vessels evoke memory and transformation, serving as shrines that honor discarded and decayed objects with a renewed sense of meaning.
Quinlan’s sculptural work has evolved from traditional fiber and basketry techniques. Her cocoons, pods, and vessels combine contrasting materials and explore the balance between hard and soft, vulnerability and protection. They seek to offer comfort while honoring the quiet potential contained within.
Together, Sellers and Quinlan explore themes of impermanence and renewal, decay and rebirth. Their work reflects the solace found in nature and the quiet act of noticing. Collectively, Mundane – Sacred becomes a kind of shared archive: a relic of memory and connection across generations. The exhibition invites viewers to slow down, look closely, and recognize the sacred in the mundane.
