Running Along The Contours

Running Along the Contours showcases Lucy Crouch’s recent work exploring the physicality of drawing practice. The exhibition explores line and surface across two and three dimensions, seeing the drawn gesture in spatial objects and at the point of contact between materials.

Lucy Crouch’s work stems from noticing and facilitating a material’s ability to perform drawing gestures, including a line in space and a paper-thin surface. For Crouch, drawing lies in the imprint, the trace of an action and evidence of two materials touching, which can be non-human. Her expanded drawing practice pays attention to the physical substance of drawing materially. 

Lucy Crouch is an artist based in Leeds and is working towards a practice-led PhD at the University of Leeds, funded by White Rose College of Arts and Humanities (WRoCAH).
