Lucy is a visual artist based in the South-West, and a recent graduate from The University of the West of England. Her work is a poetic exploration of landscape, with her visual language being rooted in research across variety of topics. Her recent project ‘Morvoren’ (‘Mermaid’ in Cornish) draws on childhood interest in local folklore to explore the psychological landscape of growing up in Cornwall, revealing the hidden femininity of the Celtic county. Plunged into an alien world, the guiding figure of the Morvoren haunts the viewer and alludes to the cautionary origin of Cornish mermaid tales now applied to the age of anxiety concerning the natural world, as well as the deep-rooted social issues within the county.
