Nonsensical Objects
The scale model and the use of different scale has become integral to the realisation of Lucy's practice, her sculptural work uses scale to create small intimate objects made with typical model making materials and in doing so they explore the scale model as sculptural object. Lucy also uses the models to make large versions by using the scale model in its conventional role as a tool. However these are not maquettes and their functional role is no longer the main priority within the work. Similarly, Lucy's concern is not what the sculptures depict but more about their interplay with scale and each other.
Lucy plays with the model's correct proportions, scale and measurements which are vital for its function or usefulness: any discrepancy renders it nonsensical.
