“Holobiont” presents a selection of woodcut prints and collages by Maine-based artist, Amanda Lilleston. A holobiont is a host organism and its associated organic community that functions as a single ecological unit. Inspired by the interconnected systems of biology and physiology, Lilleston uses woodcut printmaking as a tool to explore the mutuality between the world and the bodies it continually shapes. Through drawing, relief carving, and printing, she transforms imagery of the body and landscape into shifting and evolving compositions, investigating the idea of self and what that means in an interconnected environment. Lilleston is an Assistant professor of Art at Cooby College and has exhibited her work both nationally and internationally including the International Triennial Colour in Graphic Arts in Torún, Poland; Boston Printmakers North American Print Biennial; the Atlanta Print Biennial; the Zillman Art Museum, and upcoming participation in the DI CARTA / PAPERMADE 6th edition: International Contemporary Art Biennale at the Museo Civico Palazzo Fogazzaro in Schio, Italy.
