Lucy Burns
‘She wants to be flowers, but you make her owls. You must not complain, then, if she goes hunting.’
— Alan Garner, The Owl Service
Based in Pembrokeshire, Lucy is an artist whose work weaves together traditional and digital techniques. Her practice is rooted in emotion, place and story, drawing on landscape, folklore and myth. Through illustration, animation and site-specific work, she explores belonging, identity and the shifting nature of stories across time and culture. For her debut solo, Lucy illustrated stories from The Mabinogion. With a fresh perspective, she now creates new works inspired by some of her original pieces. Her long-standing fascination with Blodeuwedd and Lleu Llaw Gyffes comes to life in this new sequential narrative, tracing a powerful story of love and betrayal.
