Contemplation, galvanised steel, height 1.8 mLucy UnwinThe inspiration for Lucy Unwin's work derives from natural forms, be it organic shapes found in nature or the human figure. Her steel work concentrates on the human form often portraying its physical power when it is pushed to extreme levels of exertion and flexibility, sometimes representing her own experiences within sport. When working with stone she uses the natural shape of the material for guidance before releasing the form within. The physical process of working, which is often very demanding, is important to her, by combining physical and mental energy she is able to create the desired outcome.Click here to view more work by Lucy Unwin |
