ABOUT THE ARTIST
A graduate with distinction in Fine Art from Chelsea College , Lucy has garnered acclaim for her multidisciplinary practice, which encompasses sculptural installation and ceramics. She works from her home studio in London, where she has developed a practice centered on clay’s rich materiality and its connections to human stories of fragility, strength, and tenderness.
Lucy is a renowned figure in the ceramic art space having been shortlisted for the Clifford Chance Sculpture Award 2013 and the GAM Gilbert de Botton Art Prize 2012. A notable exhibition was the Ellipsis Prints in collaboration with Jack Arts in 2020.
DESCRIPTION
Lucy’s vessel-like sculptures, each have a distinctive presence of their own. They are personal explorations of the rich and complex materiality of clay, and the ancient connections that bind us to it. Lucy’s work is concerned with the way clay; simultaneously grounds and transports us; connecting us to the earth, everything that has gone before and everything that is to come. The organic forms found in her work are small studies of human relationships and movement: they are sculptural vignettes, moments, poems told through clay.
Lucy carefully crafts each leaf on her pieces placing them in a relationship to each other that represent a dance.
