LILA ROO'S WORK IS TRANSFORMATION.
SHE CREATES ART PIECES MADE ENTIRELY FROM DISCARDED MATERIALS, PRIMARILY PLASTIC. SHE HAND COLLECTS, BRAIDS AND BINDS THESE MATERIALS,
AND BRINGS THEM INTO NEW FORMS. SHE WORKS INTIMATELY WITH PEOPLE AND PLACES TO CREATE PORTRAITS, PERFORMANCE & INSTALLATIONS THAT ARE TRANSFORMATIVE & EMPOWERING. HER WORK IS AN EXPRESSION OF HER LIFE & BODY, THE MATERIALS SHE ENCOUNTERS & THE PEOPLE SHE LOVES.
SHE IS BASED IN ST. VINCENT & THE GRENADINES.
