Marne Lucas
Marne Lucas is a multidisciplinary artist and end of life doula (EOLD) whose practice spans photography, video, sculpture and collaboration. Lucas works at the intersection of art and health, using conceptual overlaps: life’s energy, the body, mortality, and transformation. Lucas’ investigations are informed by the community around her, inspired by the Dharma Art and Social Practice movements, social activism, and the EOLD movements; framed by a personal mythology. The Bardo Project (2015 to present) explores the arts as a form of spiritual care in collaborations with terminally ill artists and creatives nationwide to establish their legacy. An infrared thermal video pioneer since 1995, Lucas exhibits at The Brand Library (Los Angeles), PICA (Oregon), Fremantle Arts Centre (Perth AU), Peltz Gallery (London), Municipal Museum of Penafiel (Portugal) and the Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona (Spain). Lucas received UMEZ Arts Engagement grants (2021, 2018) administered by the LMCC, RACC (Oregon) project grants (2013, 2009, 2006).
