About the Artist:

Molly Lunn is an Ithaca based artist primarily working with acrylic paint on wood. She also works with textiles and shares a studio space with her husband in downtown Ithaca. She’s a mother of two small children and often inspired by creative freedom of early adolescence.

The work explores the loss of personal identity and self and highlights the idea of hormonal mood swings commonly experienced by postpartum mothers. Having recently given birth to her second child, Molly Lunn’s work is meant to examine the roles and expectations set on women in our society. Be happy, bright and put together, while internally having feelings of emotionally falling apart or melting inside.

Although stemming from a serious and real topic, the work is colorful and light-hearted with subtle figural concepts of eyeballs and human toes which target nostalgic memories of Dr. Suess and other classic illustrated children’s books. Shapes drip with movement almost like fuzzy base lines of deep cut funk tracks on vintage vinyl, splattered in bubbling shapes and soaked in rich color.

The pieces are carved pine wood, painted with acrylic paint and UV protected top coat - hanging parts pre-assembled.
