Ani Lacy is an American artist based in England whose practice explores the intersections of migration, impermanence, belonging, and cultural memory. Having been raised as a ward of the state, her work negotiates the space between resilience and loss, reflecting the adaptability inherent in both material and cultural practices.

Working primarily with wild clay and foraged materials, Lacy draws attention to narratives fractured by Indigenous erasure, displacement, and colonial identities.

After completing a Master of Fine Arts from Bath Spa University in 2021, she went on to exhibit her work in Bath, London, New York, and Japan, including a residency with the BEPPU Project in Kyushu, Japan, where she immersed herself in local clay practices. She’s given public talks on her artistic practice in Japan and England, and in Spring 2023 Ani was a featured artist in A Gathering Together, a literary journal dedicated to elevating works that resonate across time and space.
