Lucy Kent

Lucy is an artist/maker currently based in West Yorkshire. Her practice is heavily focused around the environment and influenced by Land art and the Arte Povera movement.

Drawing is an essential part of her practice and underpins the making process. Working with predominantly found, natural and recycled materials, she consciously considers and limits her environmental impact in every element of her work.

Moving between sculpture, photography and video – she also explores the role of time via repetitive making and the ephemeral properties of her chosen materials. This allows her work to act as a form of documentation for her ever-changing surroundings.

The series Eroding Time examines how humans interact with and influence the natural landscape. The pieces are created using pine needles which are individually inserted into cotton rag paper forming patterns inspired by plant root systems.
