Inspired by an unrelenting desire to make, coupled with a passion for the written word, she makes objects to house stories which may otherwise go untold. In creating narratives she accompanies the viewer on a journey, often manifesting in an installation, multiple or artist's book.Themes explored in recent works include fecundity and dolls houses, lost love and redundant underwear, rural survival and liberation, salvaged diaries and dementia, solitude and beards, proverbs and heirlooms. Having published over twenty limited editions in the past ten years, her work is held in public and private collections in the UK and abroad including TATE Britain, Chelsea College of Art, London College of Communication, Winchester School of Art, Manchester Metropolitan University. Artist multiples are stocked in London, Edinburgh, Paris, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
So, when i have been asked to create a space to house Lucy's abjets i have chosen to create a permanent space for her "Bibliotherapy". I was inspired by nature as in makes feel more relaxed.
