Statement
Organically driven and led by her materials Lynne is an ‘alchemical maker ... gently inviting people to think about the environmental impact of their actions'.Directly influenced and excited by things unnoticed ... decay, peeling paint, rusting metal, colour, texture and pattern, she is inspired on a daily basis by erosion, the elements and hidden treasures ... things discarded and overlooked.
'It is the emotional journey of making that is the most important part, everything else is secondary ... I love that there is hidden beauty within often unnoticed treasures, hidden works of art just waiting to be discovered. Discarded by man and shaped by the elements'
