Lucia Pizzani’s expressive practice involves the body and self always informed by materiality. One of her core concerns is the interrelationship between narratives of women in history and processes of metamorphosis in the natural world. She works across a variety of media - including photography, ceramics, videos, drawings, performances and installations. Having worked as part of the environmental movement in Venezuela for many years, she has always incorporated ecological elements into her artwork.Pizzani’s physical environment often provides her with both the inspiration, and physical materials, for her work. This has had a particular importance during recent artists in residencies she has done abroad. The travelling and sense of missplaced has been part of her life since an early age, while she bounced between Europe, North America and her home country. In the last years, from her London studio she combines materials and stories from different territories trying to reconciliate that distance. Her research and production is often hybrid, syncretic and with no defined temporality, allowing the works to have multi layered readings.
