Lucy’s work explores the connection between women and their associated weaving craft, all interwoven into the fabric of civilization itself. The painting is a bright tribute to the women who worked in the shadow of historical events. It also inquires about a potential alternative narrative closer to the spirit of the delicate art of weaving itself in which nurturing would be predominantly valued.
The excess of tartan patterns in the painting emphasizes the art of warp and weft in order to overwhelm the viewer with shapes and colours bursting to reveal the magnitude and beauty of the weaver’s sway.
