Jill Orlov Reimagines and Rescales Architectural Spaces in Metal

Former architect turned sculptor, creates captivating miniature scenes and vignettes to explore and unpack some of society's most complex issues such as alienation, control, and judicial injustice. Jill utilizes traditionally “heavy-duty” techniques such as welding steel and soldering brass and silver while also repurposing highly curated vintage objects into whimsical and beautifully delicate scenes. Jill’s work has been featured in multiple gallery and museum exhibitions as well as winning the City of Baltimore Mayor’s Individual Artist Award (now called the Independent Artist Award) and the 2023-2024 Municipal Art Society of Baltimore City Travel Artist Prize.

In this talk, Jill will share her inspirations, process, and offer participants an up-close look at her intimate worlds in miniature.
