Lucy May


The Tears of Saint Clare
Mentor: Justine Bonenfant
Country:
Lucy May is a textile artist whose embroidered works explore sacred femininity, symbolism and storytelling. Trained at the Royal School of Needlework, she blends traditional hand embroidery techniques with contemporary themes to create evocative, emotionally resonant pieces.
The Tears of Saint Clare reimagines Catholic iconography through a contemporary feminist lens. Inspired by the patron saint of embroiderers, Lucy’s iconographic work explores the beauty and toll of female needlework throughout history, using traditional goldwork techniques to create a modern reliquary of solidarity and resistance.
