Lucy Williams
Lucy Williams creates extraordinary, detailed, low-reliefs of deserted scenes of mid 20th century modernist architecture. These homes, swimming pools, railway stations, shops and factories are rendered in an array of materials such as card, Perspex, fabric, thread and pillow stuffing, put together with minute precision - each leaf individually coloured and applied, each iron railing delineated, each lamp cord individually strung. Lucy Williams was born in Oxford in 1972. She attended both Glasgow School of Art and the Royal Academy Schools, and lives and works in London. She was the subject of two solo exhibitions at McKee Gallery, New York, in 2004 and 2006. This fully illustrated catalogue with an essay by Mark Rappolt accompanies her first major solo exhibition in London.
Global Marriage
The popular imagination of marriage migration has been influenced by stories of marriage of convenience, of forced marriage, trafficking and of so-called mail-order brides. This book presents a uniquely global view of an expanding field that challenges these and other stereotypes of cross-border marriage.
Lucy Williams
"The work of Lucy Williams successfully navigates the contradiction between her subject matter - stark, brutal mid-twentieth-century Modernist architecture - and her medium: intricate mixed media bas-reliefs. In this monograph, artworks are presented alongside period photographs of the architecture, which is often no longer in existence, that provided the inspiration for William's collages. The subject matter is diverse; Williams depicts apartament blocks, swimming pools, and shop fronts that stand modestly unpopulated but yet remain deeply human." -- Back of dust jacket.
Lucy Negro, Redux
Equally interested in the sensual and the serious, the erotic and the academic, this collection experiments with form, dialect, persona, and voice. Ultimately a hybrid document, Lucy Negro, Redux harnesses blues poetry, deconstructed sonnets, historical documents and lyric essays to tell the challenging, many-faceted story of the Dark Lady, her Shakespeare, and their real and imagined milieu.
Wayward Women
We most often think of the Victorian female offender in her most archetypal and stereotypical roles; the polite lady shoplifter, stowing all manner of valuables beneath her voluminous crinolines, the tragic street waif of Dickensian fiction or the vicious femme fatale who wreaked her terrible revenge with copious poison. Yet the stories in popular novels and the Penny Dreadfuls of the day have passed down to us only half the story of these women and their crimes. From the everyday street scuffles and pocket pickings of crowded slums, to the sensational trials that dominated national headlines; the women of Victorian England were responsible for a diverse and at times completely unexpected le...
Criminal Women, 1850–1920
“The fascinating lives of the women who hit hard times . . . investigat[es] the stories behind the faces in the incredible images.” —Al Bawaba Women are among the hardest individuals to trace through the historical record and this is especially true of female offenders who had a vested interest in not wanting to be found. That is why this thought-provoking and accessible handbook by Lucy Williams and Barry Godfrey is of such value. It looks beyond the crimes and the newspaper reports of women criminals in the Victorian era in order to reveal the reality of their personal and penal journeys, and it provides a guide for researchers who are keen to explore this intriguing and neglected su...
