Lucy Mulholland (b.1999) is an Artist based in N.Ireland who studied Sculpture at the Edinburgh College of Art. Interested in the role Art has in exploring possible post-anthropocentric futures, her practice playfully investigates connections and exchanges between humans and other species in nature. She choses to focus on actions or gestures that may seem insignificant or futile, and instead views them as catalysts for potential future action. Her degree show work explored relationships between humans and species regarded as ‘companions,’ contrasting this with species considered as ‘pests’, the boundary between ‘wildness’ and ‘domesticity’ and the misunderstandings we encounter when we try to adapt ‘human spaces’ to facilitate their use by other species. Responding to the complexities of our ecological crisis, her practice foregrounds speculative imagination, humour and hope.
