Courtesy of Lindsey Ingram Gallery and the artist As England s shops re-open for business it is a timely moment for Lucy Sparrow to present one of her installation-performances that recreates entire shops in the medium of felt, that dense textile so beloved of crafters, children and, more sombrely, Joseph Beuys. In the past, Sparrow has given a Soho sex shop, a New York bodega and an East London corner shop the felt treatment. Now she’s taken over the Lyndsey Ingram Gallery in Mayfair and transformed it into a fully stocked pharmacy, with all its branded products rendered in felt. “I like that it s a childlike material. I like that it s cheap and cheerful, it’s not bronze,” says Sparrow of her trademark medium. “There’s a lot of snobbery that detracts from the serious art making that goes into this.”
