Lucy Casson studied at Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts from 1978-1981; she collects materials for her sculptures on the streets around her studio in South London. Lucy combines mysterious plastic objects, tin cans and other found objects with printed sheet metal, wood and wire and her small cartoon-like figures have been fascinating an international public since the late nineties.
