Lucy Phelan
Lucy Phelan explores the interaction between people and the world we live in through installations and art interventions.
Big Important Universal Themes are explored through conversations with butterflies and bulls, nettles and rocks.
Sexism in the Art World, Conflict and War, Coping with our own Existance, our day to day reality and Romantic Fiction are all topics for visual comment and debate

Each theme or story is developed and explored over time, often starting with a single drawing or print. The piece mutates and evolves into a multi-faceted installation or intervention as the information is gathered the story is told and the characters are developed.
The installations invite public interaction and therefore are often sited outside the Gallery environment.
Recognisable imagery and symbols are used in the work as iconic visual signposts toward a readable narrative.
The time span involved in the making is important to the work. Themes are revisited and changed. The act of making is a basic human experience.
Lucy Phelan holds a BA (Hons) Fine Art Printmaking CCAD
