Lilly Kissling - Art Exhibit

Encino Artist Statement of Work: My work is an extension of myself and my need to exist as an active player in the world I live in. Throughout my childhood, I suffered from severe anxiety and depression. At the time, I didn't know nor understand what I was going through. I finally put a name to my afflictions in high school, the same time I started doing art. Creating kept me from growing bitter or jaded. Rather, it afforded me a place to settle my mind. To treat it with ease in this kind of freedom and ambition I would otherwise be too scared to do. My paintings incorporate detail and saturated colors intended to speak out against the lens of my depression. All while giving my anxiety something to focus on. As I grow older, my perception of the world feels dull. I come into adulthood, and with more responsibilities, I hope to hold onto the bright and colorful world my child-like self knew before my depression took over. My work is not serious. We live in a serious world with little room for mistakes or imperfecti… Branch Location: Encino Library. Event Type(s): Exhibit. Staff Contact Name: Ann Laird.

Zenith of Zeigarnik

Latino Collection & Resource Center Zenith of Zeigarnik is a new body of work by designer and artist Miguel Rodriguez that explores personal and geographic memory through digital form. Reimagining drawings from the artist’s past, the work expands into a multidimensional visual world rendered through 3D modeling, sculpting, and volumetric photogrammetry. The work moves across four screens as a living archive of both past and speculative selfhood, integrating fragments of San Antonio’s built environment such as taquerías, hand-painted signs, and fallen structures. This exhibition continues Rodriguez’s larger practice of creative world-building through perpetual rebirth, situated at the intersection of memory, invention, and machine. Zenith of Zeigarnik is a conceptual inquiry into the architectures we inherit and the ones we construct to survive within – or without.

Throughout my childhood, I suffered from severe anxiety and depression. At the time, I didn't know nor understand what I was going through. I finally put a name to my afflictions in high school, the same time I started doing art. Creating kept me from growing bitter or jaded. Rather, it afforded me a place to settle my mind. To treat it with ease in this kind of freedom and ambition I would otherwise be too scared to do. My paintings incorporate detail and saturated colors intended to speak out against the lens of my depression. All while giving my anxiety something to focus on. As I grow older, my perception of the world feels dull. I come into adulthood, and with more responsibilities, I hope to hold onto the bright and colorful world my child-like self knew before my depression took over. My work is not serious. We live in a serious world with little room for mistakes or imperfecti… Branch Location: Encino Library. Event Type(s): Exhibit. Staff Contact Name: Ann Laird.

Lilly Kissling - Art Exhibit

Encino Artist Statement of Work: My work is an extension of myself and my need to exist as an active player in the world I live in. Throughout my childhood, I suffered from severe anxiety and depression. At the time, I didn't know nor understand what I was going through. I finally put a name to my afflictions in high school, the same time I started doing art. Creating kept me from growing bitter or jaded. Rather, it afforded me a place to settle my mind. To treat it with ease in this kind of freedom and ambition I would otherwise be too scared to do. My paintings incorporate detail and saturated colors intended to speak out against the lens of my depression. All while giving my anxiety something to focus on. As I grow older, my perception of the world feels dull. I come into adulthood, and with more responsibilities, I hope to hold onto the bright and colorful world my child-like self knew before my depression took over. My work is not serious. We live in a serious world with little room for mistakes or imperfecti… Branch Location: Encino Library. Event Type(s): Exhibit. Staff Contact Name: Ann Laird.

Zenith of Zeigarnik

Latino Collection & Resource Center Zenith of Zeigarnik is a new body of work by designer and artist Miguel Rodriguez that explores personal and geographic memory through digital form. Reimagining drawings from the artist’s past, the work expands into a multidimensional visual world rendered through 3D modeling, sculpting, and volumetric photogrammetry. The work moves across four screens as a living archive of both past and speculative selfhood, integrating fragments of San Antonio’s built environment such as taquerías, hand-painted signs, and fallen structures. This exhibition continues Rodriguez’s larger practice of creative world-building through perpetual rebirth, situated at the intersection of memory, invention, and machine. Zenith of Zeigarnik is a conceptual inquiry into the architectures we inherit and the ones we construct to survive within – or without. As part of Zenith of Zeigarnik, Miguel Rodriguez presents the San Antonio Public Library’s first-ever augmented reality experience—inviting viewers to engage with memory and materi… Branch Location: Central Library.

She has held numerous national and international exhibitions of her works since then, in the form of art and calligraphy, and is now a registered artist with the city.

Lilly Kissling - Art Exhibit

Encino Artist Statement of Work: My work is an extension of myself and my need to exist as an active player in the world I live in. Throughout my childhood, I suffered from severe anxiety and depression. At the time, I didn't know nor understand what I was going through. I finally put a name to my afflictions in high school, the same time I started doing art. Creating kept me from growing bitter or jaded. Rather, it afforded me a place to settle my mind. To treat it with ease in this kind of freedom and ambition I would otherwise be too scared to do. My paintings incorporate detail and saturated colors intended to speak out against the lens of my depression. All while giving my anxiety something to focus on. As I grow older, my perception of the world feels dull. I come into adulthood, and with more responsibilities, I hope to hold onto the bright and colorful world my child-like self knew before my depression took over. My work is not serious. We live in a serious world with little room for mistakes or imperfecti… Branch Location: Encino Library. Event Type(s): Exhibit. Staff Contact Name: Ann Laird.

Zenith of Zeigarnik

Latino Collection & Resource Center Zenith of Zeigarnik is a new body of work by designer and artist Miguel Rodriguez that explores personal and geographic memory through digital form. Reimagining drawings from the artist’s past, the work expands into a multidimensional visual world rendered through 3D modeling, sculpting, and volumetric photogrammetry. The work moves across four screens as a living archive of both past and speculative selfhood, integrating fragments of San Antonio’s built environment such as taquerías, hand-painted signs, and fallen structures. This exhibition continues Rodriguez’s larger practice of creative world-building through perpetual rebirth, situated at the intersection of memory, invention, and machine. Zenith of Zeigarnik is a conceptual inquiry into the architectures we inherit and the ones we construct to survive within – or without. As part of Zenith of Zeigarnik, Miguel Rodriguez presents the San Antonio Public Library’s first-ever augmented reality experience—inviting viewers to engage with memory and materi… Branch Location: Central Library.
