Statement

Statement

​Lynsey MacKenzie approaches painting by combining ways of working; from memory and observations of her surroundings, to working intuitively, responding to marks and colours.

She has a deep interest in the relationships between painting and time: the timelessness of painting, the non-linear accumulation of imagery and forms, and the way that painting takes both painter and viewer outwith time. ​The passage of time brings about flux. Order tends towards disorder. MacKenzie searches for a feeling of space, and of something fleeting.
