LU & LU
Lu & Lu was a cross-disciplinary art series by collaborators and friends, architect Lucy Moroney and designer Lucinda Dryden.
Over 15 years of long-distance friendship they shared an interest in expanding their respective practices beyond design, to include hands-on fabrication techniques as well. Initiated by Lucy’s return to Australia from the UK in 2022, they were finally in the same place at the same time, ready for the next chapter: a creative exchange of skills.
Songs of the Greenway installation and performance
Across a series of spatial installations, they explored the meeting point between their disciplines, experimenting with audience interaction and experiential storytelling. Unique landscapes were the central themes of these works. Over the three year series they worked with textiles, botanicals, timber, sound and X, as well as running workshops for children and adults, and teaching university students.
