In the modern age, libraries are often seen as both places of social gathering as well as fortresses of solitude and introspection. Influenced by American painter Edward Hopper, artist Lucy Lyon uses body language to articulate an emotion or mood. She takes her inspiration from environments in which figures appear alone, even in the presence of others.
Gift of Jeffrey Stevens
