Lucy Russell is a recent Bachelor of Fine Arts graduate from the National Art School, majoring in printmaking, with a strong interest in creative collaboration and inclusive cultural spaces.
“I am a visual artist and printmaker based in Sydney, working with etching processes to explore texture, tone, and atmosphere. My approach to monochrome printmaking comes from an intuitive response to form, texture, and light. I like to allow the process of printing to lead the image, letting the marks, surfaces, and tonal variations find their own rhythm. Working with primarilly with etching, I explore how black can express emotion, depth, and balance.”
