Lydia Halcrow

Bristol
I am an artist, researcher and educator. I work in collaboration with places that are rapidly flooding and eroding, making with earth, about the earth. The work is a conversation between my walking body, and traces of erosion and decay.

I make paintings, drawings and prints that are based on walks with a place and using walking as a way to closely observe the materials and processes that give a place its unique identity. All of these tiny marks act as clues telling us how we navigate and exist within a place, the textures of the surfaces underfoot, what features will alter with the weather over time, the traces we leave behind. Coming together the work forms alternative maps of a place, re-mapping the overlooked that hold fragile records of entropy, materials and mark-making, mainly on metal and paper.
