Liminal Gallery Podcast is presented by Louise Fitzjohn, the Founder and Director of Liminal. This podcast is an opportunity to speak with the contemporary artists currently exhibiting in Liminal's Margate-based Gallery. With an exciting programme of solo and group exhibitions, hosting this podcast is a fantastic way to delve deeper into the artists practice and to probe their innermost thoughts about their exhibitions.
Liminal Gallery was founded in April 2021 and works with contemporary artists currently practicing in the UK & Ireland, showing the incredibly diverse creatives that are based here. The artists we work with have an approach which we haven’t seen before, a unique talent which spans across the mediums.
We are delighted to share these artists with you as we have in depth conversations exploring the artists lives and works, into what makes them tick and what gets a ticking off.
So we hope you’ll join us, both on this podcast and down in Margate, where you can see the exhibitions of these artists in person.

Liminal Gallery Podcast host, Louise Fitzjohn, speaks with contemporary artist Lucy Lyons, to coincide with her solo exhibition ‘Seven and a half’ in Liminal Gallery's The Cupboard, in Margate. This exhibition provides a unique realm where the boundaries between reality and imagination blur, offering a glimpse into the intricate workings of the human mind.
Between the 7th and 8th floor of the Martin-Flemmer building is a small hidden doorway through which you can enter the mind of John Malkovich. At the back of Liminal Gallery is a small doorway, a different kind of portal through which you can step into the world inside the mind of Lucy Lyons.
The Cupboard serves as an intimate space, providing a journey into the depths of Lucy Lyons' creative psyche. Through collage and drawing, Lucy Lyons constructs a rich narrative, drawing inspiration from the surrealist and symbolist movements, Carl Jung's texts and her own subconscious to unearth layers of meaning and symbolism. Her intricate composite drawings, meticulously layered, evoke a sense of immersion and introspection.
The Cupboard is Liminal Gallery’s second exhibition space, tiny but sleek it is exclusively available to artists living and working in Thanet. Lyons will use this space to showcase a new body of work, evoking an interplay of images, thoughts, and feelings, reflecting the tumultuous times we live in and offering a glimpse into the artist's inner world.
Dr. Lucy Lyons is a multidisciplinary artist known for her explorations of memory, identity, and the subconscious through drawing, collage, and installation. She holds a PhD from Sheffield Hallam University, and an MMAA from the Medical Artists’ Association of Great Britain. Additionally, she earned an MA in Fine Art from the City & Guilds of London Art School and a BA (Hons) in Graphic Design from Norwich School of Art.
She has had solo exhibitions at the Hunterian Museum London, Medical Museion Copenhagen, Fábrica de Braço de Prata Lisbon and Panum Institute Copenhagen. She has participated in numerous group exhibitions and performances internationally, exploring the intersections of art, science, and life.
Lyons has undertaken several residencies, including at Latvijas Kultūras akadēmijas teātra māja in Riga, Latvia, and Larose Osler Medical Library A-I-R at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. She has contributed to various publications and articles, delving into topics such as art, medicine, and embodiment.
Currently, Lucy Lyons serves as the Lead Tutor for SSC Anatomy and Art at UCL Medical School. Her contributions to the field of art have been recognised with awards such as being long-listed for the SOLO Award in 2018 and winning the British Council Darwin Now Award in 2009.
