Bletting the Mother Beast: A Solo Exhibition by Mercedes Lucy

An intimate and visceral exhibition by Margate-based artist Mercedes Lucy, exploring grief, transformation, and softness through hand-built ceramics, textiles, and sound. Taking its name from the process of bletting—the tender decay of fruit—this body of work embraces rupture as a space for reflection and renewal. Hosted in the evocative surroundings of Goodnestone Park, the show invites visitors into a sensory world where emotion, memory, and material are held with care and depth.
