In Her Steps

In Her Steps is a permanent, public artwork installed on the front steps of my home in Margate, Kent. A project I have been developing for over four years; I have tiled the steps with over 600 handmade, ceramic tiles, featuring over 400 women, all born before 1900, which is roughly the date that my house was built.

Mercedes Lucy is a Margate-based artist telling her story through clay and hand-built vessels and sculptures, exploring motherhood, grief, transformation, and decay as tender, generative forces.
