Preview: 1-4 pm Saturday 6th September

Moiré Found Places / Gifts Display Shop is an exhibition intertwining two bodies of

work by artist Lady Lucy. Her collaged and painted wall hangings, utilise the surfaces

of found fabric materials, layering these with tinted acrylic gesso, water-based oils

and cut fabric to discover real or imagined places through gesture and process. The

installation of hangings echo the interconnections between the design of Moiré fabric

and sea, forest, radio waves at the gallery site. Asylum is situated on a former RAF

Station active between WW2 and the Cold War – in proximity to the Suffolk coast

and surrounded by Rendlesham Forest.

The Gifts series are painted objects using product packaging accumulated from the

artist's life: containers for stock cubes, avocados, iphones, chocolates,

antidepressants, asthma inhalers, tea, dates, painkillers, satsumas, tomatoes, ice

cream, granola, biscuits and bleach. The Gifts are priced using an analogue

algorithm which offers a range of affordable artworks and prompts questions about

the value of the art object. 

Dr Lucy Woollett also known as Lady Lucy makes paintings, drawings and moving

image. Her work is strongly informed by her interest in the social function and value

of her activities as an artist and more specifically as a painter. Taking an economic

approach to scale, the work is made in series, applying processes of painting,

layering, abstraction, refiguring, and the juxtaposing of multiple references where

ideas merge through collage. Recent Projects include Unwanted Gift (2024) at Five

Years and Foundation of Kindness, Shared Experiences, Shared Burden (2022) a

permanent commission for The Royal Marsden NHS.
