Both worlds (1975)

In Both Worlds (1975), Lucy Mackenzie invites the viewer to contemplate the selection and arrangement of objects that draw us in to her serene, private and timeless world. She says: "A painting may be a pure celebration of something that catches my eye, the pose and fragility of a flower, the pattern on a seashell, the way light falls on plain domestic objects. I like the fact that these sort[s] of objects have been painted by artist[s] for hundreds even thousands of years."
