Lucille Moore studied Art Foundation at the Pittville Studios, University of Gloucestershire before going on to specialise in Textile Art at Winchester School of Art where she created mixed media sculptures and installations. She graduated from Winchester with First Class Hons and was awarded a prize for outstanding achievement. Lucille continues to develop her own practice and started to exhibit her mixed media works in 2015. Her work is inspired by people and places, creating illustrative works with character. She is influenced by folk art and culture and has a particular interest in sacred art and rituals. She explores the theme of identity, celebrating empowerment and also exposing vulnerability. “I like to work spontaneously. When I over think it, it becomes fussy and you lose the openness and honesty. I think this is how sometimes humour emerges, and that’s not to say that the work is frivolous, I believe humour can help you think deeper about real or serious issues but I don’t consider that before I start making. I love Art brut and the honesty of the work because it is so pure and unadulterated and I can imagine the process of the making and it feels exciting and free. That’s how I want my work to be”
