TKE STUDIO MEMBER:
MERCEDES LUCY
Bio
I have always practised art; I did an art foundation have regularly attended life drawing classes. When I moved to Margate I discovered Clayspace. A local ceramic studio with classes and drop in sessions, soon after I had children I began using that as my creative outlet.
After my mum died in January 2020, I decided to make some tiles for a splash back in my kitchen and it grew to be huge project; I created enough tiles for 3 bathrooms, a utility room and my whole kitchen.
My work is a response to my overactive mind. I have ADHD, I work fast and determinedly. Themes that recur in my work are relationships and interactions, perceptions, judgements, idiosyncrasies, cliches. Most usually around womanhood, motherhood and identity
