Lucy May Schofield

Lucy May Schofield is interested in belonging and dislocation, the remote and ritual, separation and intimacy, time and impermanence, isolation and migration, repetition and remembrance, stillness and movement, silence and rhythm, pilgrimage and place. Our relationship to time and light have inspired performative acts with cyanotype, video, installation, print and stitch. Since graduating from London College of Printing in 2002, Lucy has exhibited nationally and internationally. She relocated from Manchester to Japan in 2011 where her interest in printmaking developed. As joint recipient of a British Council Development Award in 2015 she toured a collaborative project to China and the USA. Residencies at Hospitalfield, Scotland, Kala Art Institute, California, NES in Northern Iceland and MI-LAB in Japan have informed a collaborative approach to research and developed an exploration in durational work in combination with printmaking. In 2016 she was awarded a one year residency with Visual Arts in Rural Communities (VARC) in a remote part of Northumberland where she is still currently based. Works are held in public and private collections including Tate Britain, Yale Centre for British Art, Stanford University, Chelsea College of Art, State Library of Queensland and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Recent work has been presented at Art Toronto, The London Art Fair and The University of Hawaii, where she was the recipient of the Awagami Paper Prize.

Belongings
Lucy May Schofield & Sylvia Waltering

Individual contributors were selected and approached with the simple request to provide the artists with an object that had a special story or memory attached. They were asked to record that story, yet not reveal it. The artists used the loaned objects as muse and stimulation for their writing to unfold, creating new narrative potential.
The artists publication contains photographs of the belongings and the writings they inspired.

15 x 19cm, 40 pages with eight colour plates, cloth covered in Windsor Elcho, bronze foil blocked printed on a Heidelberg GTO52, hand finished edition of 90.
