FOREST ALCHEMY™ - Key Persons
Job Titles:
- Forest Alchemy Technical Director
Theodore Lillie is Forest Alchemy Technical Director. His art blends photography, collage, sculpture, installation and video with computer programming, solar design, industrial design, off-grid production and electrical engineering. He explores intersections of landscape, portraiture, human idiosyncrasy and natural phenomenon. For Lillie, an extreme athlete, motion is life and life is art. His work emerged while skateboarding San Francisco streets, driving back roads, cutting old imagery to weave into new work or using wire and steel to emphasize tension and balance. The physicality of dismantling parts to reinvent dialogue and context stimulates reappraisal of personal, natural and communal realities. Lillie's photographs have been exhibited at San Francisco Art Institute, Smith Anderson North, Gen Art and belong to diverse private collections. As a professional photographer, his clients have included Ready Made Magazine, the Oakland Museum of California, Architects, Artists, Designers, Political Events and San Francisco Nightlife.
