Lucy Anlezark is a multidisciplinary artist based on Gadigal land. Working across printmaking, drawing, photography, and sound, she explores the poetics of spectrality and the material processes through which memory and presence are mediated.
Her practice unfolds through gestures of repetition, layering, and erasure, often reworking images and fragments drawn from personal and found archives. Guided by a sensitivity to rhythm and duration, Lucy examines how traces, residues, and echoes shape our perception of time and disappearance. Through these iterative gestures, she proposes that absence is not an endpoint but an active presence—a rhythm that continues to reverberate through matter and memory.
Lucys’ recent thesis, An Absence Resounding, extends these concerns through an investigation of the sound archive and the philosophical implications of silence as a measure of absence. Examining the limits of auditory perception, Lucy visualises and sculpturally expands sound waves to consider silence not as a void but as a shifting perceptual state. Her research asks: do things ever truly fall silent—slip into stillness and disappear into the immaterial past—or do they transform into something less immediately perceptible? And if so, how might we begin to attune to these transformations?
Graduating with a BFA from the National Art School in 2023, Lucy went on to complete her honours at UNSW Art & Design in 2024. She has exhibited in various shows, her most recent being the group exhibition, DARING, held at Curatorial & Co. Her works are held in private collections both locally and internationally. Recent projects include the collaborative development and participation in the public program for the UNSW Art & Design Grad show, The Annual.
