Trish Tillman was born in Chicago and lives and works in New York. She received an MFA from School of Visual Arts and a BFA from James Madison University. Tillman has had exhibitions at the Visual Arts Center of Richmond, VA; Hilde L.A., Los Angeles, CA; and Tiger Strikes Asteroid, Philadelphia, PA; amongst many others. Press includes Artforum, The Washington Post, Cultured Magazine, and more. Tillman’s work juxtaposes diverse materials to evoke domestic ritual, fetish, and a modern tendency towards private totemic monuments. Industrial components fused with uncanny decorative elements like hair, leather, rope and chains become unsettling talismans, transcending function to reflect material fetishism and idiosyncratic cultural references. Tillman's sly echo of Minimalist sculptures mixes with Pop material and a Postmodern rejection of strict binaries of high/low, made/bought, and transformed/unadulterated.
