Lyndsey Gilmour

I work with both familiar and unfamiliar hand-held objects of which I paint from observation. My poetic language towards the objects drives the composition and form that my paintings and installations take; where the objects sit in relation to one another and the space they occupy is vital. With an interest in the three-dimensional objects and the two-dimensionality of painting, I play with flatness and form, the shadow and the ephemeral, in order to confuse the viewer as to what is a given reality and what is created.
