Research Interests: Lemmon’s practice investigates the intersection of familiar domestic materials and abstracted forms, creating works that juxtapose the tactile and the surreal. Her sculptures often subvert conventional craft techniques to probe psychological states like anxiety and societal decay. Projects like Siren’s Kiss and The Undeniable Attraction of Hope exemplify her focus on symbolic narratives and material transformation.
