Scottish sculptor, Lucy Irvine, arrived in Australia in 2003.  As a response to her new environment she began to develop a method of weaving that juxtaposed organic forms with industrially produced, utilitarian materials. Undertaking a Master of Fine Arts at the Victorian College of the Arts in 2008 she sought to articulate her experience and memory of landscape. This led to her envisaging a landscape of knowledge as well as investigating a knowledge of landscape. Her weaving practice has become increasingly expansive and responsive, with emergent forms challenging expectations of surface, volume and space. Within the making, the boundaries between the intuitive and the analytical are also blurred: the work is presented as a complex form of thinking, and knowledge in its own right. Lucy is currently visiting artist in the Textiles Workshop.
