	ARTHUR ROGER GALLERY
		Lesley Dill is an artist who does both, but one who manages to do so in a way that is familiar and fresh, showing words to be potent -- and elusive -- things.
		Her exhibition of recent work at the National Museum of Women in the Arts, "Lesley Dill: A Ten Year Survey," addresses words as containers of both meaning and meaninglessness, as tools of communication and as mute scribblings on a page.
		In a sense, Dill is their antithesis, an artist who thinks long and hard about her titles and who litters her work with written -- or, as in the case of Dill and Thomas Edward Morgan's sound installation, "I Heard a Voice," whispered -- clues about its meaning.

		Lesley Dill's Radiance illustrates her fondness for mantra meditation in which words are repeated, for different words keep showing up on repeated viewings.
		A New Englander raised in Maine, Dill could relate to the Amherst, Mass., laureate's quirky syntax, her way of lurching from one thought to another in phrases that might seem disjointed were they not so fraught with intimations of revelation.
		For Dill it was personal; her father was a schizophrenic with his own way of using language, or as she put it: "I grew up in a psychically bilingual family never knowing when a word would contain another meaning."

	The Drachen Foundation:Crunch Time with Lesley Dill, Gail Deery, and 24 MICA Students
		With the help of Kyle William Van Horn, her department tech, Gail was able to create an environment conducive to quick and effective work - no doubt we all felt the pressure of the finite time we had together.
		This effectively meant that the kite would have to be folded in half, so I made all the horizontal spars in the kite with two pieces, connected with wing nuts at the center.
		Lesley returned to New York City at about the moment that I lay Healing Man onto the table and began to cut him away from the background paper.

		Dill co-wrote the performance with Thomas Edward Morgan, conductor of the Ars Nova singers.
		It's fitting that Lesley Dill's exhibit would be chosen to aid in the "filling in" of the "void of language," if you will, related to visual art that Patrick discusses.
		Of course, all of Lesley Dill's artistic ideas would be lost on a larger audience if it were not for the people who present and explain these deeply spiritual artistic works.

		In her early career, Dill often fashioned sculpture in the form of dresses and suits but had never combined the forms with letters or words.

	Straight.com Vancouver \| Visual Arts \| For Dill, Words Are Energy
		(In Dillâs early work, this form was allusive of the poet Emily Dickinson, whose words the artist frequently quotes.) Unusually, the sketchy suggestion of a head has been added; without hands or feet, however, the form conveys a state of disembodiment.
		Dillâs use of poetry is one of the most persistent aspects of her art.
		Dill may deliver words and letters in an indecipherable tumble of cut paper or fabric, or stamped and strewn unreadably across an unfurling network of leaves and fern fronds.

		New York artist Lesley Dill, born in 1950, has been engaged with the famously mysterious output of the New England poet for more than a decade now, merging Dickinson's words in intriguing ways with images of the human body.
		''Dill uses language and the materials of cloth, thread and paper as a means to explore the female psyche both literally and metaphorically,'' according to officials at the Vanderbilt University Fine Arts Gallery.
		Also, in using tea at times to stain her paper and fabric, she suggests a connection with the important place of tea and tea-drinking, as a form of social interaction, in the lives of many women during Dickinson's time and afterward.

	The Tears of Things: Lesley/Leslie Dill: A Ten Year Survey
		Dill shows other ways to create pain -- piercing, slicing, stitching, flaying -- with the flatness of affect one expects from a sociopath.
		Emily Dickinson, the twisted sister of Amherst whom Dill uses as her muse, harbored malevolent passions under her tight white bodice.
		Oh, Leslie Dill’s survey is trendy, thin, parched work, and it’s made me thirsty.

	Lesley Dill - George Adams Gallery, New York, New York ArtForum - Find Articles
		For the past several years, Lesley Dill has been incorporating poems by Emily Dickinson into her work and using many of the techniques of traditional 19th-century homecraft (dyeing, weaving, dressmaking, and needlework) in its creation.
		By uniting violent and disturbing imagery with metaphysical poetry and traditional homecraft through the visual metaphor of a modified prayer banner, Dill suggests that Dickinson's words are the muted prayers of a victim.
		The result is a new form of tapestry: pancultural in its references, didactic in its political message, and inconclusive in its presentation.

		In the main gallery is work by New York artist Lesley Dill, the showpiece of which is "A Mouthful of Words" -- an ambitious project executed in collaboration with students and faculty photographer David Horan.
		Which is, after all, not that dissimilar from the real art in the main gallery, wherein Lesley Dill has designed and packaged photo-illustrations for select lines from the poetry of Emily Dickinson and Rainer Maria Rilke.
		There is something Victorian in Dill's sensibility, something more than her affinity for the brittle verse of Emily Dickinson; there is a formality to her imagery, but it is a formality diluted with a dash of Wildean abandon.
