STATEMENT/CV
SHORTLISTED FOR THE EUROPEAN SOVERIEGN ART PRIZE 2008
Lynne studied sculpture under an American artist in the Uk, then spent 20 years working in the film and television industry as an artist and model maker. At this time she also acquired an interest in film and photography and has since made several of her own short films which focus on peoples relationship to their surroundings, and the things we take for granted in modern life.
Lynnes photgraphic images focus on urban living, back streets, deserted buildings, throw away life styles and the possible concept of natures rejuvenation of abandoned urban places.
With the series "On The Edge Of Perception" Lynne is interested in changing the perspective of the brains expectations, to confuse and stimulate the observers ability to comprehend and question a contradictory environment.
Paralleled with her interest in the natural process of climatic decay and environmental rejuvenation, she aims to create a teasing visualisation of an impossible concept. A place where every day normality is thrown into disarray and visual confusion, but at first glance can seem quite normal. A place where forests cohabit alongside remnants of furniture and human artefacts, under ceilings that still keep out the rain.
The bleak interiors of this series harbour a history involving human life-time confinement. Forests now lend a magically mysterious beauty and tributary presence to the crumbling decay of this Victorian asylum.
