Tree Lily Butcher: Be Nobody<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

at Kreate Hub Nashville in Nashville, Tennessee, USA
1-30 July 2023<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Born in Nashville, Tennessee, Tree Lily Butcher<\/a> knew what she wanted to be very early in life: in the words of 7-year-old Tree Lily, \u201cI want to be when I grow up I will be an artist and a mom because a mom is the best job in the world. An artist is a good job too, I think, because I love to paint pictures.\u201d In 2020, pregnant and unemployed, Tree Lily started her journey into both motherhood and the professional art world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I Am He as You Are He<\/em> by Tree Lily Butcher. Courtesy of the artist.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The book Be Nobody<\/em> by Lama Marut, the inspiration for this exhibition, has a simple premise: “We are all desperately trying to be somebody. No one wants to be a loser, a small fry, a big zero, a washout, a nonentity. Nobody, it seems, wants to be a nobody.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This race to be somebody only creates suffering. In this intimately spiritual collage collection, Tree Lily examines the surreal experience of becoming a true Nobody. The result is the destruction of the ego and transformation into pure oneness with the universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are invited to bear witness to this event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
