Bound to Drift

‘Bound to Drift’ responds to the pull of the ocean and the quiet marks it leaves behind. Inspired by the way water carves into the foreshore, running in and out, again and again — always moving, always making something new. There’s a sense of surrender here, of letting go and allowing beauty to emerge through change.

Lucy creates abstract works that explore the dynamic relationships between movement, texture, and colour. Her medium of choice is acrylic paints on canvas, where she uses bold, bright colours and energetic strokes to convey a sense of movement through her paintings. Lucy uses built up paint to create texture, which shifts shadows throughout the day as the light changes, creating a constantly evolving experience for the viewer.
Drawing from her background as a maritime engineer, Lucy's understanding of hydrodynamics and weather systems deeply informs the fluidity and motion in her work. The ever-changing landscapes of Tasmania, particularly the mountainous terrain and patterns found when bushwalking, are also a significant source of inspiration for Lucy. These are reflected in the layers of her paintings, as she builds up many layers of paint to create a sense of motion and flow that invites the eye to move across the canvas.
