The Beautiful and Eerie Sculptures of Lucy Glendinning


When I first discovered Lucy Glendinning's work through Beautiful Decay a few years ago, I felt like I was looking at something not supposed to be seen. Her creations are intriguingly eerie, faintly disturbing, and fiercely stunning.

The British artist from Somerset blends the human figure, poetry, and philosophical questions to produce intricate sculptures that are simultaneously creepy and engrossing to look at. Browsing her website is like venturing into a mix of the familiar and unknown. Some look like scientific specimens, others seem like characters from a horror movie, and others are visualizations of serenity.


Lucy studied sculpture at the University of the West of England, Bristol. After college, she apprenticed for Elisabeth Frink, where she learned how to make molds and castings with wax which influenced her work to this day.







What the hell was she thinking when she did these?
