Lynne Wynick writes: "My work propels itself through various media bouncing ideas back and forth, in a practice where the studio process and resultant detritus are embraced. Through investigations of location and scale, in allowing for the unexpected and utilizing the unintentional, I create a situation that is ripe for engagement and interpretation. The work intentionally confounds the perception of scale for the viewer through an ambiguous or skewed context.
In the new work, Façade, created for the Modern Fuel Artist-Run Centre, State of Flux Gallery, Kingston, Ontario, I referred to a photograph of the Modern Fuel facade found on its website as my starting point.
Studio based references recur throughout the work utilizing various media. Parts from a red, clay brick model set were used for one of the facade models. One drawing of the facade became a model leading to the photographs, MF Model 2 with Found Light and MF Model 2_Projected. A discarded foil wrapper was used to cast a MF facade shadow, Modern Fuel Foiled. Filmic strips became book like multiples and Brancusi references were made.
The constant in all these works is the sequential, the back and forth, the ricochet of ideas. The process is revealed and references to the practice of artists are discovered en route.
