LYNNE CHAPMAN
CONTEMPORARY ARTIST, BASED IN THE UK, CREATING PAINTINGS, DRAWINGS AND HAND-STITCHED, FINE ART TEXTILES.
It is the process of harnessing creativity which interests me, the balance between conscious decision-making and instinct which drives work forwards. I do not plan and rarely use visual reference, but allow pieces to evolve, exploring different ways of combining colour, mark-making and the sensation of contained space. I enjoy keeping my work in a state of flux and employ tricks to free myself from the pitfalls of routine, enforcing randomness, or unfamiliar materials, as soon as I become too comfortable or controlled.
