Lucy Andrews

Lucy Andrews makes sculptures, installations and architectural interventions. She combines natural and industrial materials to form dynamic, unstable arrangements in which time-based processes are alluded to.

She works with water, dust, soot, industrial waste, spider silk, rocks, and molten plastic, addressing the provenance and longevity of these materials and probing their fundamental nature as well as the concept of nature itself.

The work communicates a sense of critical mass and contingency through forms that are fluid, amorphous and yielding, revealing the agency of 'matter out of place' in both human and non-human systems. Recently she has been working on constructed ecosystems in which plant-based and plastic components interact with each other.
