Artist’s Talk at Spike Print Studio, Bristol Tuesday 4th February 2020, 11am.
‘Lucy May Schofield talks about her intriguing, evocative work.
Schofield is continually fascinated with belonging and dislocation, remoteness and ritual, separation and intimacy, time and impermanence, isolation and migration, repetition and remembrance, stillness and light, silence and rhythm, pilgrimage and place.
In collaboration with the expansive landscape and dark skies of Northumberland, Schofield marks the seasonal shifts with paper, ink, wood and silk to connect and convene with nature. Observing the way in which time behaves in remote and rural places has resonated in ritualistic acts of making. Meditating on the earth’s rotation, the phases of the moon and our relationship to light and time inspire performative acts in the landscape documented through printmaking, video, stitch and installation. In turning our attention to the temporal, every day is an event to be celebrated. Her work seeks to commune with nature inviting eyes to caress and inhabit the spaces she creates. Her works possess a sensitivity to time and mortality, meditating on our relationship to transience, imperfection and impermanence.’
