Lucy Meyle is an artist from Aotearoa New Zealand.

Her practice explores the problems and questions of 'baggy' and/or ‘stiffened’ ideas and forms in connection to plants and non-human animals in our time of climate emergency. Humour and playfulness form key aspects of her works, acting to re-orientate perspectives or subjective interpretations through propositions that seem absurd, yet which materially demonstrate their own potential.
