Bio

Lily of the Sea is the project of mixed media artist and musician Lily McMahan, based in New York City. Inspired by the sonic and emotional rawness of 90s grunge & visual legacies of folk art and mythology, she weaves together a fascinating and immersive universe exploring the lines between human and environment, collective unconscious in bodily experience, climate grief, and femininity. She works with material as a conduit to fuse meaning with medium, employing natural dyes, secondhand textiles, and slow making techniques in creating all of the visuals which accompany her music.
