Six Huts
A fascination with huts and sheds can be seen regularly in Lynda’s work. These are an edited selection of the huts found at Southwold Harbour in Suffolk.
Yangtze River
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.
Huts Box
Here the fascination with huts shows itself again. The huts are printed and painted paper placed inside a painted found box.
Postcard Prints
Old postcards were used for these screen prints. For the Portobello prints, the original colours were changed to better reflect the colours found at the seaside. The Dungeness postcard shows the original colours of the old lighthouse – it is now painted all black and the new lighthouse has taken over the black and white stripes.
