Lucy Ellis is an experimental animator and creative coder based in London. Her work explores the digital and analogue through experimenting with process and materiality. She enjoys working with scrap and found materials repurposing them to form new identities and narratives differing from their original purpose or intention. The texture of materials is important to her practice, exploring how it evokes memory and time. More recently she has become interested in screen based installation work exploring animation as an expanded practice.

She was awarded as the inaugural winner of the DAZED and Rabanne arts factory 2024 where she displayed her work at Miami Art Basel 2024. She has also displayed work in festivals like the London Short Film Festival, Peckham Digital’s Festival of Creative Computing and been featured in Labocine’s Primary Colours Issue 2025.
