F L O C K Collection

A new collection of original artworks inspired by New Walk Museum’s Natural Science Collection of bird skins. Lucy was given access to Leicester Museum’s basement, along with photographer Bill Newsinger to select recognisable UK based garden and woodland birds. Lucy has selected colour palettes in various mediums, including paint, spray paint, wax pastel, Indian ink and more to compliment the bird’s plumage. She uses expressive and instinctive mark making to represent the shape and size of the body and smaller, quieter notations to remember each birds song. These works were created in 2020 and have been produced using original photography and mixed media onto 310gsm Fabriano paper. The work is mounted and framed within a contemporary wooden bespoke frame.
