ARTIST QUOTES:
NOELLE LEE (https://www.worshipworship.com/): Lee says of her colored pencil work, "For this piece I was really inspired by the color palette and ethereal scenes in both Ilomilo and ILY. This illustration features Billie on her bed, drawing to the idea of a place of comfort and safety. To contrast this idea of comfort, I chose to encapsulate the scene in a snow globe. The globe represents the thought that although Billie may be in a state of comfort in herself and her work, she is still being viewed and interacted with by the outside world. In all, the purpose of the piece is to represent the fragile and blurry parts of Billie's world and artistic life which is on view for all."
NATHALIE NGUYEN (https://www.nathalie-nguyen.com/): Nguyen says of her oil on canvas print, "In reference to Billie Eilish's song "ilomilo", the painting features Billie submerged in an underwater scene. Inspired by the line from the song: "the world's a little blurry. or maybe it's my eyes" which is also the title of the documentary. The painting was executed as a nod to impressionism and uses soft brush strokes, vibrant depiction of light, and blurry figures in the background to bring the subject, Billie, into focus."
EMMA STERN (https://www.emmatstern.com/): Stern says of her digital illustration, "This composition is based on footage of Billie in [brother] Finneas' room, where she is sitting on her bed and we can see 'Bury a Friend' in its early stages beginning to take shape as she flips through a notebook filled with her handwritten lyrics. This struck me as a really poignant moment because it is so tender, so stripped down and honest. Most of the art I make involves female figures in intimate interiors, and that intimacy is something I really aimed to convey in this composition. Visually, I was also drawn to this scene because of dramatic backlighting which gives the whole setting a very specific, vibe-y moodiness that I enjoyed emphasizing, as well as the small details like the Murakami flower pillows peeking out from behind Billie, which kind of take on the role of secondary figures in the final piece."
