Unwin, Lucy
Lucy Unwin was born in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, in 1984. She studied Fine Art Sculpture at Winchester School of Art graduating in 2006 with a BA in Fine Art Sculpture. Since graduation she has continued to develop her work in both metal and stone, working towards exhibitions as well as working to commission. She is now working in a studio in the inspirational Cotswolds countryside.
"The inspiration for my sculpture derives from natural forms, be it organic shapes found in nature or the human form."
My steel sculptures are constructed by welding steel bars of assorted lengths and thicknesses to create figures often depicting movement. When working with stone I use the natural shape of the material for guidance before releasing the form within. The physical process of working, which is often very demanding is very important to me, as by combining physical and mental energy I am able to create the desired outcome.
