Lock creates characters and figures of noble birth and monarchy, and entwines them in tales from the imaginary. The symbolism and ambiguity surrounding many of the figures lure one into thoughts of some kind of “secret society”, as images of masonic guild type portraiture are conjured.
Her latest project is supported by The Arts Council and can be followed at http://nowthatwouldbetelling.com/, this is a project where she while working with curator Catherine Hemelryk and invited writers Ben Moor, Pamela Hartshorne, Lucinda Hawksley, Hallie Rubenhold and Liz Williams, to create new stories, likening to some of her former work, in historic places.
She has also recently been selected in the Saatchi magasine's online weekly top ten.
