ABOUT LYNN

Reworking the narrative through material and process

South African-born North Essex-based artist;

fabric, paper, bronze

stitch, direct casting,

threads, wire, screws and metal,

rusting away, sanding down,

the smell of beeswax and turps.

absence/ presence

recapture, retelling,

process obsessed, taking my time

exploring ideas/research through making

the feel of fabric and yarn between fingers,

the needle marking the surface, unpicking, redoing

(re)found text

changing meaning, recreating a new story.

recreating, reworking the story,

layers of meaning

ambiguity, peeling away

the supposed truth.
