Lucy Allinson
@lha_finearts and @lucylu285
Lucy Allinson is a Geelong-based multidisciplinary artist working across sound, installation, painting, sculpture and photography. Her practice in acoustic ecology explores concepts of listening, capturing and composing to enable viewers to experience the different levels of human-machinery noise and the impacts of this on the acoustic ecology of our natural soundscapes. She is currently researching natural landscapes around Victoria to see how far one might have to travel to experience pure, natural soundscapes without the interference of human noise.
