Mercedes Lucy's practice centres around her passion for ceramics combined with drawing from life and illustrative work, expressed in vigorous brushwork and mark-making. Recurring themes include domesticity, feminism, motherhood, grief, and identity, often with tongue-in-cheek humour.
The slow process of ceramics compliments my innate urge to rush, whilst creating artwork that is ‘useful’ relieves the female guilt of creating something that, arguably, in its’ truest form may not be considered necessary.
Mercedes Lucy lives and works in Margate, Kent, UK, where she is a studio holder at TKE Studios.
