Lucy will often utilise the innate character of a material in her work or will mimic natural processes. Much of her relief work is sculpted in plaster and then painted from above using acrylic thinned with airbrush medium, which is then allowed to pool and evaporate over time, leaving subtle ‘tide marks’ - the paint in effect, a sediment laid down, which can then be left, eroded or covered once more as the work progresses. Other reliefs are sculpted in wax or clay and then cast. In encaustic work the specialist paint can be built up into complex, textured forms or worked back into thin translucent layers to reveal the layers below.
