Lucy Crouch was born in Wakefield in 1987. She is currently on the BA Fine Art course at Chelsea College of Art & Design.

She recently showed in Small Things Surrounding (But Not Necessarily About) Time, 25 Gellatly Road, London, 2008.

Crouch is concerned with the physical and human act of making work, an act which may be labour intensive but sensitive, brutal yet quiet. She is interested in a poetic longing for something distant and a desire to preserve fleeting moments. Her work sits in a territory somewhere between photography, drawing and sculpture. She is involved in a transformative process, achieved through the meticulous use of repetition, which deals with a yearning for the other. She has been involved in making a series of vigorously executed yet delicate line drawings that alter photographs of the surface of water, alluding to a mountainous landscape. She is also involved in developing a series of works which deal with the trace of a physical space. The act of pressing pencil to paper on wall is important in the act of making these drawings, together with a wish to discover the potential in the unnoticed and the absent.
