Footnote
Note: Lucinda is a graduate of the Wimbledon School Of Art and Glasgow School of Art where she obtained a BA Hons degree in Sculpture, and an MFA in Fine Art. Much of her sculpture is inspired by the landscape; looking at rhythms and dimensions, and the 'energy' of the land.
In 2008, whilst representing Scotland during an International Polar Year expedition, she produced 'Mosaic Of Antarctica', a series of glass engravings of the Antarctic, documenting climatic environmental changes to the landscape. Collaborating with scientists, the visual imagery was transcribed from satellite data showing the translucence of melting ice from the region's ice shelves, glaciers and sea ice. A visual recording of these environmental changes is archived at the British map Library in London.
In her glasswork Wilkinson is committed to producing sculptural artworks which evoke strong environmental messages through beautiful, poignant imagery, which she hopes will serve as a wakeup call to the world.
