About

Bio

Lucie (b.1995, London) uses drawing, print and sculpture to explore place and memory. The images she makes recreate the sensation of aimless city drifting, searching for traces of human connection amongst discarded objects and palimpsestic graffiti’d surfaces. Lucie often seeks out landscapes with their own temporal climate which makes room for drifting and daydreaming as subtle forms of resistance to corporate, ahistorical approaches to urban space. The concrete ghosts of modernist projects and liminal borderlands where the city dissolves into canals, heaths and other untamed spaces are recurring sites of interest.

Ephemeral and profound experiences of the mundane are forensically archived through repetitive, laborious approaches to drawing. Drawings are treated as a raw material, ripe for transformation into a variety of print processes. Screen-printing enables drawings to migrate from image to object, taking on fresh associations as they engage with a diverse array of surfaces. This transmutation emphasises the unfixed, malleable nature of the spaces they originate from. Layered images and unexpected material fusions create hybrid landscapes, operating as archaeological sites, where histories both personal and collective are built and buried.

Lucie graduated with a BA (hons) in Painting and Printmaking from The Glasgow School of Art in 2017 and an MA in Print from The Royal College of Art in 2023.
