Victoria Lucas



Victoria Lucas’ art practice comprises video, installation and sound. She explores the transient nature of these mediums, allowing one to consider the ephemeral nature of existence against the passage of time. Lucas also creates sculptural works, which form static representations of a place, moment or memory; interrupting and immortalizing the perpetual expanses of time.

Current themes in relation to these interests include the Sea, which for Lucas acts as both a marker of absence and as a metaphor for loss, erasure, and time itself. The Sea is intangible. Constantly remapping itself, the formations of peaks, troughs and sounds appear and disappear in the vast expanses of writhing space, before transforming to the next.

In other works, insects, animals, places and people are depicted as a way to retell histories, stories and events; evoking an understanding of human emotion. Expressions such as loss, desire, tragedy, failure, and love are found in objects, images, sounds. The everyday is retold, so that the often mundane happenings are brought to light and remembered. To Lucas, these small ordinary occurrences are inextricably linked to the extraordinary workings of the universe.
