As suggested by Susannah in some of the feedback she gave me on my written work I traveled through to Glasgow to check out Lynn Hynd's exhibition "Collisions in the process of feeling obstacles" in the Duchy Gallery. Good small exhibition interesting work indeed though i was instantly drawn to her work on plaster opposed to the paper works, dont know why this is just felt as though they were more resolved. The plaster works were very fluid in shape, in that they have been made in seemingly unstructured ways (the plaster having been allowed to create its own shape for the most part) which has given me plenty food for thought as I have been looking to my own plaster works (which are all the same size with distinctly straight and measured edges) with a sort of mild discomfort, this i think has arisen from it being mentioned that the plaster seems to be more of a frame for the objects displayed on or in them. Anyway as i said food for thought and maybe an idea to try out. Lynns plaster works are definite objects in their own right, the marks on the surface echoing the rough plaster lumps on the back of the pieces and contrasting but not in conflict with the fluid edges of the surface on which they are painted/ printed.
Anyhow enjoyed the show.
