In this series, slices of white bread are torn into rough, cartoonish faces—nostalgic and a bit silly. Cast in Jesmonite and hand-painted, they become uncanny replicas: soft turned solid, something edible—or disposable—made to last. The gesture recalls childhood games—playing with food, making characters—but also speaks to procrastination and daydreaming. There’s a quiet humour here, but also a kind of sincerity. A torn piece of bread becomes a portrait; a snack becomes a stand-in for memory, mischief, and the urge to make something out of nothing. As in much of Lucy's work, the everyday is carefully remade in alternate materials. These bread faces sit on the edge of real and replica.
