Lucie (b.1995, London) uses drawing, print and sculpture to forensically archive overlooked urban spaces. She holds an MA in Print from The Royal College of Art and a BA in Painting and Printmaking from Glasgow School of Art.
Liminal spaces encountered in Lucie’s immediate environment are a recurring site of interest in her work. She draws attention to places that are ubiquitous but infrequently examined, from the boarded up thresholds of disused doors and windows to the borderlands where London dissolves into canals, heaths and other untamed spaces. The unique temporal climate of these landscapes, which seem immune to the manic pace of the surrounding city, operates as a subtle form of resistance to corporate, ahistorical approaches to place.
Lucie’s work often deals with the translation between drawing and Print Media. Images start as intricate ink drawings in which repetitive, laborious approaches to mark making lengthen and pay homage to ephemeral and profound experiences of the overlooked. Gaps and slippages created by the movement between drawing and print processes accentuate the sense of distortion already apparent in images drawn from reflections in water and glass.
