Lucy Williams

Elle Décor featured Lucy Williams, a British artist, in June's issue.  Her works demonstrates a painstaking attention to detail and a resourcefulness in use of materials.  Her subjects center around mid-century architecture—geometric and constructed.  As Peter Terzian (the author of the piece in Elle Décor) remarked, somewhat humorously, “[h]er scenes are always depopulated… .”  In other words: no people!  Its hard to appreciate from the pictures, but her work is three dimensional, a collage with layers of materials, even needlework.  Here are a few of my favorites.
