ARTIST INSPIRATION

Lucy Baxendale

Lucy Baxendale is a Ceramicist, Illustrator & Community Artist based in rural Herefordshire.
Lucy uses surrealist automatism to create detailed drawings which become the starting point for her porcelain pieces.
Fascinated by the journey from two-dimensional sketches to three-dimensional sculptures, Lucy explores the shifting relationships between the lines in her drawings. As these lines transition into tangible forms, their narratives also evolve.

The outcome of these explorations are one-of-a-kind 3D drawings, intentionally unglazed and stained to echo the essence of a sketch. Through her work, Lucy bridges the realms of imagination and materiality. She invites observers to witness the evolution of lines into stories, forging connections between the drawn and the sculpted.
