Lucy Bleach is an independent practitioner based in lutruwita/Tasmania, Australia. Her art practice focuses on humanity’s enduring relationships to volatile environments by engaging with communities that directly experience such interactions and with scientists who monitor the earth’s motion. She generates artworks where processes are contingent on geological force, and uses her practice to initiate unpredictable outcomes, investigate transitions of matter and slow the process of collapse.

Lucy’s practice spans curated exhibitions, festival commissions, community collaborations, curatorial projects, published writing and lecture presentations. She has produced solo and collaborative works, exhibited nationally and internationally, and undertaken research projects in geologically unstable regions in the Azores, Iceland, Italy, Japan, Hawaii and Vanuatu.
