Lucas Garvey’s practise is a melting pot of embodied investigation into social dynamics, spirituality and play. With a penchant for personal growth he intends to draw attention to societal structures and processes, hoping to reignite collective interest in fundamental pillars of wellbeing such as traditional rituals ancd nature-based faith. Working with various mediums often in the realm of sculpture, performance and the graphic arts, his outputs manifest as collective interactive sensorial experiences involving movement, sound and objects.
Taking a primitive approach to his practise of making, his work can beconsidered rudimentary, adopting organic forms and earthy tones in response to the growing metropolitan advances in urban landscapes and his desire to live in a more unadulterated environment. Seeing imperfection as a valuable attribute, his processes are intuitive and meditative.
