Welcome to this special edition of The Grateful Web: Rogue Studios 30@30 celebrating 30 years of Rogue Artists’ Studios in Manchester.
On this episode I’m thrilled to be chatting with Lucy Ridges
Lucy is a visual artist and photographer based in Manchester, specialising in analogue photography and traditional mark-making techniques. Over the past decade her work has focused on the representation of the female form through experimental photographic processes such as cyanotype printing, multiple exposures, photopolymer gravure and hand colouring.
Her work explores the relationship between the human body, nature, and the cosmos, embracing the tactile and unpredictable qualities of analogue processes. Lucy also works as a portrait photographer, primarily shooting musicians, comedians and actors. Work has been published in: The Guardian, The Times, New Scientist, Vogue.
She has exhibited widely across the UK, including at The Lowry, Salford; HOME, Manchester; Bankley Gallery, Manchester; and Lumen Crypt, London. Lucy has also participated in artist residencies in Iceland, La Gomera, the Isle of Skye, and Cornwall.
Lucy holds an MA in Photography from Manchester Metropolitan University and a BA(Hons) in Fine Art from the University of Central Lancashire. She lectures in Photography at Salford University and is working towards a solo show which will be held in the project space at Rogue Studios next November.
