Lucy Claire’s practice is inspired by museum collections, primarily her fascination with classical sculpture. She explores this through photography, printmaking, and engraving. As an artist, she is concerned with how natural elements can be used to produce an artificial image of perfection.

Her personal experience informs her interest in the artificial image, specifically the pressure of expectation on appearance, and perception. She communicates this affinity by using everyday materials. She uses readymade objects such as bricks and handmade tiles to give her photographs a physical aspect linked to lived experience.
