Conceptual Installation Artist

This site is an archive of Lycia Trouton's sculpture and conceptual installation artwork.

Lycia Danielle Trouton is a Sculptor / Conceptual Installation Artist and Art / Design / Craft modern to contemporary Historian-Theorist-Critic.

Lycia Trouton, Artist, was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland during The Troubles and grew up in Vancouver, B.C., Canada.   She spent her 20s in various parts of the USA and her 30s living all over Australia.  She is currently based in South America.

Trouton's art practice engages issues of politics / poetics, monumentality and intimacy, as well as memory /counter-memory.

Lycia's current art installation sculpture is often about the body, violence, trauma.

The Linen Memorial is Lycia's international touring (2001 - 2011) conceptual installation art monument or "counter-monument" about her homeland. This artwork, and 'healing-through-remembering' project is a socially - engaged creative work about The Troubles.

Through this commemorative Northern Ireland creation, socio-political research and engagement with this large-scale, long-term Irish / Ulster Scots artwork-memorial-'anti-monument' Lycia has become concerned with how art (sculpture and needlework craft) / performance art can interact with contributing to 'grass-roots' or 'bottom-up' creative solutions for other post-conflict societies, youth justice / truth and reconciliation issues and/or broader peace issues.

The Northern Irish Canadian-Australian artist Lycia Trouton has enjoyed collaborations with other artists and creative ecological engineers, architects, designers, a choreographer, composers and sound artists ever since she did her Masters in Sculpture at Cranbrook Academy of Art, graduating class of 1991, USA.

Thanks to the British High Commission in Canberra, British Columbia and Canada Council for the Arts and New South Wales and Australia Council for the Arts.

Lycia is global citizen. At each "migration" juncture... she is following her conceptual artistic path...
