Introducing Lucy Dewsnap, aka BearSuit. A Barnsley-based multimedia artist whose work explores ecological themes.
With a Master of Fine Arts degree and over a decade of experience, she works across painting, film, and photography to create thought-provoking art.
Through the Bearsuit persona, Lucy combines personal narrative with the fantastical. Alongside her artistic practice, Lucy uses her years of experience to teach painting and drawing, offering creative work shops which cater to students of all skill levels.
"My practice is varied in medium but relative in subject as an extensive and explorative form of storytelling; from the lungs of a conflicted hybrid. The human animal.
I am interested in interspecies relationships and languages that stretch beyond human understanding. What is it to be human? How is it that all living beings, human and nonhuman, can be unified for shared sentience yet segregated upon a spectrum of existence?
Much like the nesting bird, its work (nest) is reflective of its habitat; My own habitat of Barnsley is a unique ecosystem, it is its own composite animal. The land is ever changing, and nature seems even more conflicted in this territorial rut. "
