Lucy Baxendale is an explorer of imaginary worlds, inspired by folklore, mythology, ritual & traditions. Using a form of a surrealist automatism, she draws from her unconscious to produce pen and pencil drawings which often become the inspiration for her ceramic work. She is curious about how you choose to translate a 2D drawing into a 3D form and pushes herself to build challenging structures, using a variety of different hand building techniques.
She also produces illustrations & murals for clients.
