Avian Abstracts
A collection of colour-coded mixed-media artworks on paper, panel and canvas, created between 2022 and 2024.
With a selection exhibited at Leeds Open Exhibition, The Tarpey Gallery and Leicester Museum.
Each work begins with extensive research into an individual bird species, exploring its distinctive colouring, habitat, song, nest design, egg patterns, behaviour and conservation status. Drawing on this research, Lucy translates scientific information into a visual language of colour, shape, line and pattern. The collection also highlights the damaging effects of climate change and habitat destruction, making visible the pressures contributing to declining bird populations.
