Lucy Bainbridge | Patience

PATIENCE | A collaborative project between the artist Lucy Bainbridge and the writer Samuel Moseley Webb.

Lucy and Sam were paired with each other when their names were pulled randomly from a hat on 24th June 2020 for the project A Common Place, which was devised and organised between Eames Fine Art and the 26 Writers Group. 

The Common Place was conceived to bring artists and writers - previous strangers - to work together: sharing stories and their experiences of how theycoped with the limitations of lockdown during the pandemic. 

It was a project about connection and collaboration; about being creative and expanding our world during a time of isolation and constraint. Many of the relationships formed between writers and artists were intense and meaningful and people found that the experience of working with someone new was inspirational and the resluts exciting. 

You can watch the beautiful film, 'Joined Up Thinking', which Mike Southon made about the project HERE.  Or view the resulting work from the project HERE. 

Lucy and Sam's collaboration was a great success and their piece, On Perception of Shadows was poignant and extremely beautiful. After the project was completed, Sam and Lucy continued to meet up and talk about their work. They met in their favourite parks across London and discussed their ideas and inspirations, and eventually they began working on a second collaboration: Patience.

The artworks and poems from Patience are available to purchase either individually, or as a very limited and beautiful portfolio set.
