LYNN
BAXTER
I’m a sculptor, painter and ceramicist, living and working near Frome.
Whilst my practice and methodology are wide, my works are linked by an overriding interest in abstraction, finding the essence of things. A fascination with line and volume and the spirit of play are a key feature.
My paintings often exploit multiple layers to give depth to the flat surface. I exploit paper collage techniques as well as building up the body of a work with textiles.
My larger-scale steel sculptures make a statement in the context of a corporate foyer or gallery. They are fabricated to be equally happy out of doors, fitting both formal landscapes as well as more intimate garden settings. Sometimes they are made in stainless steel so they mirror elements of their setting through their polished reflective surfaces.
As a sculptor, I like working in metal because of its longevity and all my large-scale works are constructed to withstand the elements. I also like working in wood, most recently using found materials which tell of a previous life, in which I exploit surfaces with pigments. These works meld my enjoyment of painting with my interest in three-dimensional art.
I’m delighted to be supported by Sandra Higgins Art.
