Painting

Lynda Horgan

Lynda Horgan’s art explores journeying. The act of walking, from the physical to the more existential elements that the act conjures. Thoughts of space and time, the collective human step, walking to travel the maps of thought, while the physical body puts one leg in front of the other, step by automatic step.

In response to her journeys through the landscape, her studio practice explores the expanded painting field, using painting as an installation to create an immersive environment. Pieces of her works are suspended within the space, free to move by the current of air.

The kinetic elements explored in her practice, and the immersive environment created through installation, aim to encapsulate the viewer into the works. The curating of the pieces within the space, creates a walkway, a conduit to guide the viewer on a journey through the painting, the viewers presence causing subtle changes and movement within the works.

While her work touches on themes of the environment, journeying, time, space, movement, and place, it does not stop in any one field, instead the viewer is free to embark a journey through the works and by doing so enter their own map of thought.
