Primarily recognised for her sculptural practice in stone, Churchill has expanded her feminist art-activism into multimedia forms including film, installation, and works on paper, following support from an Arts Council England Develop Your Creative Practice grant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHer practice combines the physicality and permanence of stone carving with urgent contemporary conversations surrounding sexuality, consent, rage, shame, and female agency. Through sculpture, drawing, film, and activist-led projects, Churchill reclaims and reimagines representations of the female body, often confronting histories of suppression, objectification, and silence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRooted in traditional craftsmanship yet politically charged in subject matter, her work balances monumentality with vulnerability. The tactile nature of carving remains central to her approach, while newer media allow her to broaden the emotional and social reach of her feminist practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChurchill trained through traditional apprenticeships within the stone-carving trade, including Dick Reid’s Workshop, York; Richard Kindersley’s Workshop, London; and The Carving Workshop, Cambridge (1992–1999). She completed a Diploma in Historic Stone Carving at the City \u0026amp; Guilds School of Art, London (1990–1992), following a BA (Hons) in Three-Dimensional Design at Middlesex University, London (1985–1987).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecent exhibitions and projects include \u003cem\u003eShame Ends Here\u003c\/em\u003e, a multimedia art-activism project at City Screen PictureHouse Cinema, York (2026); \u003cem\u003eGolden\u003c\/em\u003e at Norman Rea Gallery, York (2026); \u003cem\u003eStrength and Rage: Recent Works on Paper\u003c\/em\u003e at City Screen PictureHouse Cinema, York (2025); Manchester Art Fair with Art of Protest Gallery (2023); \u003cem\u003eMake Space\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eBody Architect\u003c\/em\u003e at Norman Rea Gallery, York (2023); \u003cem\u003eMuseum of Sex Objects\u003c\/em\u003e at The Horse Hospital, Bloomsbury, London (2022); \u003cem\u003eLucy Churchill: New Work\u003c\/em\u003e at Art of Protest Gallery, York (2022); \u003cem\u003eMother Earth: Nature, Nurture and Fertility\u003c\/em\u003e at Bull Farm Gallery, New York (2022); Carrie Scott’s curated pop-up exhibition at The Olympic Cinema, London (2022); the Seattle Erotic Art Fair (2022); and \u003cem\u003eTransforming the Sacred Wound: A Celebration of Female Sexuality in the Age of #MeToo\u003c\/em\u003e at Art of Protest Gallery, York (2020).
