• Alchemical Bodies

  Drawing inspiration from her dissertation for her Masters at the Royal College of Art, called 'Alchemical Bodies’ which examines the body and humanity’s evolution to obsolescence with reference to the Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch, Lucille Lewin’s sculptural ceramic objects explore the relationship between form, chemistry and process.

  Research into the origins of European porcelain, and the alchemists who invented it, references to the Victorians cabinet of Curiosities, early microscopic photographs of the natural world by Karl Blosfeldt and a fascination with early medical and scientific papers, all collide in her work.

  Her work explores the themes of fragility and impermanence and ways in which we attempt to control or deny these inevitable states.
