Lily Bunney

Lily Bunney is a London-based artist whose work explores the intersection of vulnerability and digital consumption. Bunney’s process and aesthetic is key to reading her work. Inspired by the interwoven history of the computer and the jacquard loom, her pointillist drawings play with the analogue and the digital; offering work which looks hyper-digital on the screen, and tactile in person. Her practice investigates how we construct and witness our own stories in an age of overwhelming narrative abundance, particularly examining the ways we use social media and popular culture. 

Bunney's practice embraces the ephemeral nature of digital content while questioning how we document and share our experiences, the meticulous style transforming disposable images into quasi-monuments. Whether examining split-screen TikTok trauma narratives or the phenomenon of parasocial relationships, Bunney's art interrogates contemporary modes of storytelling and self-representation in an increasingly mediated world.
