ABOUT

PELL LUCY is an international artist collective founded in 2020. The artists share a belief that form possesses its own intelligence—one that, in the words of Pell Lucy artist Taney Roniger, is “far deeper and more complex than conscious, discursive thought.”

Regarding the name:

PELL LUCY is a variation of the word pellucid, a term that implies clarity, viewing, light, transparency, seeing through to something else. The word pell comes from skin or a manuscript on parchment. In other words, an artifact. And Lucy is a variation of the name Lucien, which means light.

“These artworks, channeled through the bodies of their makers, can

shed light on and awaken our own.”
