Hello,

I’m Lucy and this is my blog. I am currently in my third year at Bath Spa University studying ceramics.

My work is a combination of different techniques that range from photography and digital processes to experiments using clay, wood, plastic and plaster. Using these materials, I explore surface quality, light, profile, organic and controlled qualities.

Cutting and assembling, layering and the contrasts between profile, surface and colour are aspects that feed my work constantly. My recent work consists of functional as well as non-functional objects. My main inspirations include Chinese paper cut designs, ink formations as well a shape that has stemmed from the outline of a tree.  The detail of this shape and the quality of line is important to my practice. The work ranges from shelves and vessels that are informed by the idea of stencils and raised patterns as well as plaster and wood objects that explore the idea of ink quality, profile and shape. These pieces also have the potential to act as a light source.

I am interested in the contrast between a controlled edge and an accidental quality, order and chance. My work has many strands. I am open to many ways of working in order to achieve the desired effect, for this reason my work is mixed media.

Take a look at my studio work and some of my photography on here. I am open to comments, it would be lovely to hear from you!
