Lucy Ellerton (b.1993) is a London-based artist working across sculpture, casting, printmaking and installation. She uses materials such as jesmonite, metal, and silicone to create conceptually layered forms that borrow from everyday objects, consumer products, and hygiene rituals. Her practice engages processes of replication and distortion to investigate themes of obsession, fear, and desire.

Often balancing sincerity with a dry, sometimes absurd humour, Ellerton’s work turns mass-produced and disposable objects into strange memorials—tributes to the overlooked or the fleeting. Her sculptures sit somewhere between humour and sincerity, using familiar objects to reflect on the emotional weight of the everyday and the difficulty of holding onto it.

Ellerton holds an MA in Sculpture from the Royal College of Art (2023), where she was awarded a Distinction for her dissertation, and a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (2015). She is currently a resident at the Sarabande Foundation.
