Lucy Hainsworth

Although trained as a sculptor, and exhibiting regularly with the Yorkshire Sculptors' Group, I am very happy working as draughtsman, watercolourist and printmaker, and have had my printmaking career hugely facilitated by the accessibility of the West Yorkshire Print Workshop at the Eastthorpe Gallery in Mirfield, and the help and encouragement I have received there. My initial discipline naturally involved a wide-ranging investigation of the human figure. However, the use of watercolour led me towards landscape. I have always been inspired by Turner and Monet and their fascination with light and atmosphere. The sculptural interest in form and mass reasserted itself in turning my attention to the urban and industrial landscape. I have focussed in the past few years on the industrial landscapes of the North: the open-cast mines, chemical works, refineries and steelworks. Here my feelings have been conditioned by disquiet about the effects of industry on the environment; the prints have been in part political protest at the despoiling of the countryside. But they also reveal a fascination with industrial imagery and the awesome power of modern engineering.
