LUCY BARKER
Lucy Barker is an artist and designer based in Sydney, Australia.
Barker's practice is concerned with the relationship between our digital and physical worlds and often hovers at the nexus of the two. She draws on her observations of social and environmental change as a result of the digital revolution to unite her audiences. Play and materiality are an important part of her design process, often arriving at works that involve the audience in non traditional ways and spaces. Barker's work is characterised by its playfulness and accessibility, both conceptually and visually. She adapts materials and methods that work in unison with her ideas to create work that speaks on many levels to a wide audience. Lucy Barker's professional background spans advertising, graphic design, art direction, copywriting and space activation. Having received training in traditional oil painting in Florence, Italy, Barker completed a design degree in Visual Communications (honours) , in Sydney 1997 and a Masters degree in Digital Design at UC in 2013. She has exhibited in Sculpture By The Sea 12 times since 2009, three times at Cottesloe and nine times showing at Bondi.
