Go Touch Grass

Artist Statement

Lucy Newman’s practice confronts the tensions between the digital age and traditional craft. In her embroidered “paintings,” she captures imagined futures where nature merges with technological interference. Through hand embroidery, she redefines botanical forms to evoke a world where nature is resilient yet transformed. Her compositions blend vibrant colour, intricate form, and empty space to create a haunting vision where the organic and digital converge—suggesting both beauty and fragility in a world on the edge of change.
