In the late fall of 2023, on my studio table, I began assembling the leaves that I cut from my house plants with the petals of the lilies that dropped off the gorgeous bouquets that decorated the dining table of a friend with whom I used to dine every weekend. I started photographing them. The…

The first time my work was exhibited at the CrossMackenzie Gallery was in 2012 when the gallery was located on R Street in the DuPont Circle neighborhood. The drawing introducing this post was hung at the back of the long hallway-like space. The drawing invited the viewer to come to it. No one could absorb…

Goldmine Brook, 2011 video from Lyn Horton on Vimeo. This day might have been one of pain. Without anyone to accompany me. The music that accompanies it might indicate that. I found this by mistake on my computer. Reviewing it triggered an entirely new language which I need to pursue. Hope I have time. I…

This drawing was created out of the desire to return to the studio after a two-week bout with Covid. Being sick with the virus was the first and only time I had contracted it. The format for the work deals with several elements and patterns I had already used in the past. I dove into…

In preparing these drawings for posting, I had to put them through Photoshop in an effort to bring the images back from the depths of poor quality. In doing so, I valiantly tried to read the year written by my signature. I managed to see two years, ’77 and ’79. It made the most sense…

A discovery after I made Coloring Book Pages 1-42 was incorporated into the title of that series. The shapes that had been isolated with black ink lines could be seen on their own viably as mere shape, unrelated to the photographic image of which they were a part. So I decided to use a fine…

It was only after I had dismounted my installation at Installation Space in North Adams, MA that its owner informed her followers that the gallery was closing. Instead the space would be used as a revolving entity to bring visiting artists and the local arts community together. My work was chosen for the last show…

The three images below represent groups of nine drawings which are meant to be shown one group next to the other. They are 22-1/4 inches square with approximately 1/2 inch between the drawings in the layout. All together the groups would display at about 235 inches horizontally and 67 inches in height. These drawing deal…
