Lynda’s artist books come in all shapes and sizes. They are used to better evoke an aspect of a place or an idea than in a print or painting. They can be one-offs or multiples. The structure reflects the subject matter. As with her paintings, they can have found objects incorporated or used as the container. Collage and perforation also feature.
Before a trip to China, Lynda made a concertina sketch book with Chinese paper and printed cloth covers. She spent a few days sailing the Yangtze and one afternoon she sat and drew continuously with charcoal , along the pages of the book, the view of the river bank as it passed before her. Opened up, it is 5 metres long.
Here the fascination with huts shows itself again. The huts are printed and painted paper placed inside a painted found box.
