As a multimedia artist, New Yorker Hilary Lorenz creates works in photography, printmaking, book arts, and any combination thereof, but her primary working method is drawings on paper with water media. Her working process begins with mark-making that is circumscribed by segments of predetermined time and reflects her efforts to establish order - for example, pairing lines side by side that eventually become large forms or patterns. The patterns are derived from counting people, marking footsteps, or setting time constraints that feed her drawings, thus creating abstract, intuitive time lines that mark a spatial journey of memory and change. Her artwork depicts the silent observations of patterns in
her own New York City life as well as the mountains in New Mexico and the Flemish countryside of Belgium. The topographical nature of her work, both imagined and natural, evolves from her subconscious as she shapes and transforms the two-dimensional space with the memory of her own physical experiences of how her body moves through space, whether it is the crowded streets of Manhattan or the rigorous Southwestern mountain terrain. Hilary's physical body holds the memory of experience that she then decodes in her artwork to explore the notions of transience, chance, and difference.

Her present goals are to establish a mutually beneficial relationship with a high profile successful gallery and to set up a large format digital printing lab in her studio.

Upcoming events include a three-person exhibition in Onondaga, New York, October, and a solo exhibition of prints and drawings in Brooklyn, New York in April 2007.
