Lucy Sallick (b. 1937; US) finds meaning in the richness of family history and first hand experience. Making work in painting, artist books and sculpture, Sallick has been practicing for over 50 years, with studios in New York and Maine. Her idea of self as something built through a web of associations collected through time, descendant and ancestor, is core to her studio. Genres of still life and landscape interweave with images from home and studio: clay pieces by the children; groceries on the table; embroideries resting on a pillow; paint tubes, brushes, and sketches of landscapes on the studio floor, sometimes arranged, sometimes not. In her watercolors and oil paintings, Sallick will often paint pictures within pictures—recreating a work she had previously created within a still life, or combining views of familiar shorelines in uneven grids across giant sheets of paper. Ultimately an exploration of the self as an entity constructed from myriad parts from across time and space, Sallick’s studio records actions and thoughts as the past moves into the present.
