Becky Lyon is a London-born and based English-Jamaican artist and researcher. Her art practice explores methods for coming into relationship with and eliciting insights from ecology, particularly within ‘urban’ spaces, to unearth how our socio-political worlds are and could be shaped. Recurring themes in her work are sensing bodies, tactile processes and the touchy-feely; earthly curriculums and counter-currents; power relations and possibling; softness, oozing and slippery edges; intimacy and quiet resistance. Her work manifests as installations, rituals, photographic objects, handmade moving images and text. She is interested in alternative forms of ecological stewardship and founded Grounded Ground Provisions - an artist-led, schooled-by-the-forest for grown ups and the the Squishy Sessions research collective. She is a volunteer ranger for London National Park City active across Barnet, Brent and Harrow. She has an MA Art & Science from Central Saint Martins, an MA Art & Ecology from Goldsmiths University of London and will soon start a PhD under The Centre of Art and Ecology at Goldsmiths with the topic ‘Touch as strategy for ecological stewardship: feeling-for other environmentalisms in London’. She side-hustles as a consultant and trends researcher for global brands.
