Apothecary of Tears, 2024
Design x Death x Culture conference, 4, 5 & 6 September, Falmouth University 2024
Apothecary of Tears is an artwork with text that comes together like facing pages in an archive. The final piece, shown above, will be presented as a workshop at the Death x Dying x Culture conference at Falmouth University. I have also made it into a signed limited edition (25) box set containing a print on fine art archival paper with the text available to purchase following the link below £45.
Hallow Ground, 2024
This has been a long time in the making but finally at the beginning of the summer I completed a 24 page bookwork bringing together quotes and thoughts relating to hallow ground- the sacred places where death has occurred. It contains images of ceramic objects and creative writing, two new mediums I have been incorporating into my practice over the past two years. It is printed on different papers to create a tactile object.

I am delighted to have been selected as one of twelve artists to be working in Cornwall on this amazing project. The work that I will be making is in partnership with Camborne and Redruth Community Hospital on their acute psychiatric ward. Following a series of workshops I will be spending time in my studio to realise a new work in response to the ward and the workshop participants artworks.
BROKEN, Mending and repair in a throwaway world, Katie Treggiden
I have a chapter in this wonderful book published in April 2023 looking at our relationship to the broken and how we repair as artwork .
M(otherhood) Tate St.Ives 21 April 2023 at 18.30–20.00/22 April 2023 at 10.00–17.00
Inspired by the major exhibition and publication Barbara Hepworth: Art and Life this event focuses on under-represented perspectives on motherhood to consider how this might affect the making and understanding of art works.
How do we consider narratives about art through experiences of motherhood that include grief and childlessness not by choice?
I have been invited to speak at this symposium with the following artists and curators:
Pragya Agarwal | Jody Day | Kerri ní Dochartaigh | Hettie Judah | Holly Slingsby | Lucy Willow | Sophie J Williamson
CAST, 3 Penrose Road, Helston, TR13 8TP Cornwall
I will be moving into STUDIO 19 at CAST on a permanent basis from January 8th 2023. If you would like to visit please contact me to make an appointment lucywillowstudio@gmail.com
