C. Lucy R. Whitehead paints ambiguous forms that hover between the anatomical and the abstract—soft masses that fold, droop, and stretch across pale linen grounds. Rendered in muted tones and delicate gradients, her shapes suggest bodies without becoming them, recalling organic matter under observation or held in suspension. The compositions are quiet but charged, attuned to pressure, weight, and the subtle strangeness of flesh. Through repetition and restraint, Whitehead creates a visual language that feels at once scientific and empathetic, distant and deeply felt.
