Squeaky Binders

Abstract images that connect the sound of the surf to the work of artists and other mark makers found on the Atlantic coast of North Cornwall.

Simple chemistry, camera-less photography and history too, such an appealing way to create beautiful abstract artworks - what’s not to love?

When you buy this set of six fabulous images you won’t be getting the negative space and the shadows between them - they’re Lynn’s.

One Cornish artist plus three World Heritage mining sites equals one fabulous linocut interpretation and six digital variations on her theme.

Patience and observational skills are required but the appreciation of nature’s beauty I gained was rewarding and to share it through my work, amazing!

Cute kitties!

To celebrate autumn in all its colourful beauty I first created a series of six images of the leaves using linocut, drypoint and digital processes.

Lynn’s images belong to that genre of art - photography at its best, visual incentives to ask questions about value and meaning through the application of our own mysterious imaginations.

Visiting Dozmary Pool, the place where Excalibur, Arthur’s mystical sword, is returned to the Lady of the Lake, fired my imagination…

Making ‘landfall’ marks that point when the end of a sea journey is in sight and the start of something new is on the horizon - and this adventure was new to me.

Dedicated to Monty the Golden Retriever, my constant companion, who spent his last summer with me, sharing our shadows on the Lockdown Lawn.

I was feeling frustrated, blocked, but smudging, scraping and scratching the lines, curves and patches of tone with my blackened fingers was just so fun and energising!

These enigmatic creatures were rarely seen when I was young and to spot one in the wild was thought very fortunate indeed - otterly fabulous!

With his conical hat placed at a jaunty angle over one ear, flamboyant ruff around his neck and fetching green and red two tone harlequin tunic he cut quite a dash - the bear was good too!

Cute canine companions.

… but those unmistakeable hare ears just didn’t look right folded down under that wide brim! Lady Haresworthy needed something different, something more Philip Treacy - sorry Audrey!

A celebration of the Cornish Engineers who changed the world by a Cornish photographer who was the Mill Engineer at the famous South Crofty mine in the 1980’s.

These images of that train journey connect me to my past as I look back down the line, capture each fleeting moment of my present and race ahead to my future, mysterious and unclear …

… and then I made the connection with seaweed and was instantly taken back to memories of paddling in the shallows with the seaweed wrapping around my feet…

Juggling is a favourite pastime for them, with a few specially selected pebbles, they lie on their back passing them back and forth between their front paws - it is so impossibly cute to see!

As the grasses and wildflowers flourished in the ‘Lockdown Lawn’ so clouds of butterflies arrived on the buddleia plant that made my garden its home.

It was the intriguing marks of the chainsaw and the play of light and shadow on the logs in Mike’s barn that caught my attention ...
