This exhibition embodies Lucia's chapters of thought: "If you were able to paint sudden burst of thought and emotion, the images in "Headscapes" are what mine might look like." Many of the images are blurred and layered with multiple textures blended in with the original photograph, hinting at the inspiration of the often dream-like reflective thought processes behind them. "What you are actually seeing when you look at these images, are still clips of the film in my mind." Pixel & Grain Gallery, Loughborough Town Hall until January 29th, 2010.
