About Lucy

Lucy Wood is a British-born artist whose work centers on the urgent realities of global migration and human rights. After studying at the ASA School of Art in Auckland and earning her BA from Camberwell College of Arts in 1992, she developed a practice rooted in sculpture and large-scale installation. Her approach often involves the use of found objects to address complex socio-political narratives. She gained significant recognition for her 2013 project TO6411, where she navigated a decommissioned migrant boat from Lampedusa to London, turning the vessel into a mobile museum. Wood’s pieces are held in prestigious institutions including the Saatchi Collection and the Arts Council Collection, reflecting her commitment to documenting the human experience of entrapment and movement.

Visual voice

Wood’s aesthetic is defined by the use of reclaimed materials and found objects that carry heavy historical and social weight. Her sculptures and installations create a physical dialogue around displacement, utilizing industrial textures and salvaged items to ground abstract political themes in tangible reality.
