Profile
Mandy Lane is a British artist born in 1980 currently studying sculpture at the Royal College of Art. Lane is a multi-disciplinary artist specialising in fugitive sculpture, film, and installation. Lane’s artistic practice delves into the intricate interplay of themes such as domestic space, motherhood, class, poverty, childhood memory, trauma, and broader inquiries into marginalised communities, displacement, and power dynamics within the familial construct. In recent developments, Lane’s artistic exploration has shifted towards the contemporary landscape of queerness, with a particular emphasis on LGBTQ+ visibility and representation.
Central to Lane’s artistic endeavours is the exploration of portraiture and societal norms surrounding motherhood, with a focus on the home and family unit. Lane challenges and reframes contemporary boundaries inherent in societal perceptions of domestic space by interrogating the literal and metaphorical gap between parent and child. Through her work, Lane aims to unravel complex narratives, prompting viewers to reconsider conventional notions of identity, belonging, and intimacy within the familial context.
