Lucy Cash is an interdisciplinary artist and writer.

A first-generation university student, she holds an MA in Contemporary Performance Practice (Lancaster) and an MLitt in Creative Writing (Glasgow).

Alongside a twenty-five-year art practice, she has worked as a life model, a cinema usher, an inspector of aeroplane parts and in a Royal Mail sorting office. These various vocations have proved invaluable for working in broadcast media and as a university educator. It all informs her work as a multi-disciplinary artist.

Filmmaking skills have been honed working for independent film & TV production companies as researcher, script-editor, edit assistant and assistant director. She developed and directed experimental radio ideas at BBC Radio drama. Her approach to collaborative practice is shaped by her role as associate member of Chicago-based performance group, Goat Island (2001- 2009). With Goat Island she collaborated on writing projects, created video as part of their performance work, When Will the September Roses Bloom / Last Night Was Only A Comedy (Venice Biennale, 2005) and created four internationally exhibited moving-image works.

Lucy’s moving-image works and installations have been exhibited in international contexts including HZT and Haus der Kulturen der Welt (Berlin), Hyde Park Art Center (Chicago), Zahoor ul Akhal Gallery (Lahore), Bonington Gallery (Nottingham), Tramway (Glasgow), and in London at Dilston Grove, Tate Modern, Whitechapel Gallery, and the Natural History Museum.

Her work increasingly focuses on de-centering humans to better explore the fragile ecologies of human >< more-than-human relationships - more about these and all other projects can be found in the ‘Archive’ and ‘Work’ sections.
