“WHEREVER YOU’VE GONE I LOVE YOU ALWAYS” Print

Kayo-Fay Tilley, an artist based in Cape Town, dedicates herself to the act of translating her inner truths, pleasures, and desires into visually expressive art forms. Her artistic practice functions as a reservoir, akin to an external hard drive, storing the profound truths and pleasures from her experiences and transforming them into timeless objects that resonate with others. Through her creations, she extends an invitation to individuals, encouraging them to explore their own desires and discover their unique sources of joy and pleasure. Kayo-Fay offers gateways to alternative perspectives, providing a unique vantage point. Her art explores a spectrum of themes encompassing love, loss, family, friendship, hope, joy, grief, pain, and pleasure. Engaging with shadows, she endeavors to grasp the essence of light, extending an invitation for others to do the same. Through holding the attention of the viewer, she shares the transmutation process of darkness into light, guided by the deep understanding that all things have an eventual end. Her work serves as a gentle reminder to release tension and relish the fleeting moments during our brief time here. Kayo-Fay's art acts as an external tap through the sense of sight, granting the audience permission to embrace the affirmative idea that it's acceptable to feel good. Inspired by beauty, film, literature, fashion, architecture, nature, art, childhood, cars, astronomy, science, people, technology, and love, she aspires to echo the timeless wisdom and pleasure embedded in the fabric of the universe as she knows it.
