Nature has always been a source of inspiration for Clara Lacy, whose childhood explorations of the fields and streams near her Hampshire home sparked her interest in biology. Her passion for art also blossomed as a way to express her fascination with animals and plants, following in the footsteps of artists who have long documented the natural world for scientific study.

Having lived in various parts of the world, including Hong Kong and Sydney, before returning to the U.K., Lacy has been influenced by the diverse botanical life, weather patterns, and light conditions of each place. This rich tapestry of experiences has informed her work, which delves into themes of climate change, species loss, and the delicate balance between humans and nature.

Lacy’s series, “The World Has Dropped Its Petals,” showcases intricately detailed graphite drawings that bring the world of flowers to life. Contrasting shades of grayscale replace the vibrant colors typically associated with flowers, allowing the textures and natural patterns to take center stage.

Exploring the use of graphite as a medium, Lacy explains that she is drawn to its subtle tonal variations, which offer a stark contrast to the overwhelming array of colors and light in the world. By focusing on delicate lines and deep blacks, graphite allows her subjects to stand out in a unique way, challenging the conventional classification of graphite as a mere sketching material.

Inspired by Greek mythology, Lacy names her pieces after characters like Thanatos, Nyx, and Hypnos, infusing her work with a sense of depth and symbolism. Drawing on Dutch Golden Age still lifes, she creates compositions that play with light and shadow, emphasizing the beauty and fragility of the natural world.

Currently on display at James Gorst Architects in London, “The World Has Dropped Its Petals” invites viewers to contemplate the intricate beauty of flowers and reflect on the interconnectedness of all living things. Lacy is also embarking on a new project that explores the passage of time and the process of aging, focusing on detailed views of flower fragments.
