Wind Tunnel

Wind Tunnel is a moody exploration of movement and emotion. Deep, rich tones of dark reds and inky blues swirling together in a powerful, layered rhythm. The colours feel immersive, almost atmospheric, like being caught inside a current you can’t quite see but can deeply feel.

There’s an emotional intensity within the piece, yet threads of light and softness emerge through the darker palette, creating a quiet sense of hope. It speaks to those moments of turbulence that eventually carry us somewhere new. Where movement, even when uncomfortable, holds the promise of change.

Both grounding and uplifting, Wind Tunnel captures the beauty found within emotional depth.

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.
