Deadhead. Lucy Crispin. 2004


Acrylic paint on canvas. 250cm x 150cm
Students were asked to produce a body of work connected to ideas about 'Food'. Lucy's approach was to investigate those parts of the animal that are not used for human consumption and spent many happy hours touring the butcher’s shops of Hackney taking photographs and making drawings. When she returned to the studio she embarked on a series of paintings about the heads of dead animals (called 'Deadheads'). This one is a chicken; it was the first time she had painted on canvas.
