site-conscious sculpture

Sculptor Lycia Danielle Trouton is an Australian/Canadian artist who was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Her practice engages issues of monumentality and 'craftivism'. Trouton makes art that engages socio-political concerns in the public sphere.

Her current installation art has used the art of textiles as a metaphor for issues about the body, violence, trauma and, sometimes, her Irish Diaspora migration. Her long-term work on The (Irish) Linen Memorial has brought her into recent concerns with restorative justice and phenomenology of space, speech and gesture. She has collaborated with digital Sound artists.

In the 1990s, Trouton's site-sculpture was about ecological concerns.

Trouton currently lectures at UTAS Launceston, Tasmania. Her scholarly or academic research includes art criticism and an essay for the 2007 book, Echoes of Irish Australia: Rebellion to Republic, edited by Jeff Brownrigg, Cheryl Monghan & Richard Reid: ISBN 978‑0‑980390‑0‑4.
