Brill’s otherworldly found object assemblages feature items she’s scavenged from second-hand shops, yard sales, the side of the road–and even dumps.
“My habit of scrounging is a beloved part of my life,” she explains. “There are treasures everywhere if you are looking for them. Old photos, recipe cards and letters, discarded old books, camera lenses beyond repair, retired clocks and tools. They all live in sorted totes; I know where to find things.”
“Somehow moving to Maine fine-tuned my senses,” she continues, “Color seemed more intense, and I had never noticed air the way I do here. My creative itch found the perfect climate.”
Brill moved to Maine from Utah in 1989, living on Peaks Island for seven years. After several years in South Portland, she moved to Bath in 2008, where she still lives with her husband Ken.
Her work will be on display at the Jackson Memorial Library September 2nd through 30th, 2025.
“Assemblages that honor time, labor, and the quiet poetry of found objects…”
