Lucy Steggals

As a visual Artist I am concerned with the construction of new and/or personal narratives. I am interested in exploring site/situation specific work and in developing projects working directly with people. My sources range from found objects or images, the everyday and the playful. Whether drawn from popular culture, souvenirs, everyday ephemera, history, mythology or the environment.

The core of my work revolves around a fascination with people. I am interested in creating art that can be encountered in public spaces. Much of my work is collaborative, constructing environments and orchestrating situations where people can actively participate and interact.
