Lilly McElroy uses performance to express the desire and difficulty of human connection by engaging strangers in interactions that provoke both amusement and confusion.  She is a 2008-09 fellow at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, MA, and attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in 2006.  More about her work can be found here.
