Ghost Bird

This image is a polyplate print with the edition of Chine-collé onto a polyplate of mangroves. The polyplate print is created from an outdoor sketch by the artist. The sandflies found me attractive that day.

Most of the prints in this image are unique state prints (there is only one of that print). They are created using a variety of printmaking techniques e.g. stencilling, polyplate (flexible polyester matrix sheets used as an alternative to traditional lithography stone), Chine-collé (bonding a delicate paper to a heavier backing paper (in the second print, top row). In this case a mulberry paper printed with the image of the bird and glued under pressure to a polyplate image of the mangroves.

Close to Tears

Posted on 19/03/2024 by Lynn

A friend sent me a text with comments about Dreams of Verdant Decadence and I was quite overwhelmed. With her permission it is reprinted here:

“But when I entered that sanctuary of your labours wrapped in poetry from the heart and soul, sparing no truthfully felt emotion…. I was pretty much spellbound!

I don’t want to try and put totally into words right now everything I experienced as I stood, and walked carefully around….
But I can say that I did feel awe.
Your skill, patience, determination, endurance, imagination, and conviction reach out from this garden which for me grows from within outwards… from the different levels of darkness which are actually also different levels of light.

Well I could write quite a commentary and I hope to go again and stand… and listen.
I have only seen two of your exhibitions:  I love both! Your daring-embedded-in- vulnerability creates more than impressions…
it makes soul Imprints.

Tears?
Yes! They welled up in my heart a few times, from the moment of approach….
There is a depth of feeling in that soul refuge you have made that both births nurturing secrets and liberates mature ones in the tones of simple primal honesty.”

Dreams Continue

Posted on 05/03/2024 by Lynn

Thanks to the wonderful team at Umbrella Contemporary Arts my Dreams of Verdant Decadence exhibition has been extended until the April 21st. One advantage of being downstairs is that the vault space isn’t in constant use, unlike the upstairs exhibition spaces. This means that my installation can go on for longer.

I haven’t yet worked out what my next visual art project will be, though I do want to focus more on my writing this year. I’m secretary (a purely volunteer role) for the Townsville Writers & Publishers Centre so I figure it’s about time I finish editing the fantasy novels I’ve been writing for years and try and get them out there. Meanwhile I’m trying to put together a booklet on my installation. I don’t have the design expertise and experience to make a professional booklet but at least I will have a memory of what was and will be able to print copies of it as I want them.

From the mundane to the magical

Posted on 28/02/2024 by Lynn

It’s amazing what lighting can do for an installation. Some of the flowers in Dreams of Verdant Decadence are pretty without the UV lights but as can be seem in this collage of the same flower and leaves with and without the UV lighting they change quite dramatically.

More in the Decadence corridor

Posted on 22/02/2024 by Lynn

Hi Folks,

It seems I can’t help myself. With only a couple of weeks left of my exhibition, I’m still drawing on the walls. It’s fun to ‘sneak’ in and add some more, though I do wonder if any of the Umbrella staff have actually noticed that the walls are still changing. 🙂
