’Oss Girls. A solo show by Lucy Wright at Field System Gallery

This exhibition by artist and folklorist Lucy Wright takes as its starting point the folk archetype of the hobby horse, in particular the well-known ’Obby ’Oss tradition which takes place each May in Padstow, North Cornwall. Her new show examines how folk practices of all kinds might help us to navigate changing attitudes towards gender and intimacy.

Lucy is an Artist and Research Fellow in Folklore at the University of Hertfordshire whose work spans painting, textiles, participation and performance.
