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.

In 1978, my ex-husband and I bought a house in Worthington, MA. We had to leave Chester, MA where I had been working over a six month period for Edwin Schlossberg as his Executive Assistant and Research Associate. My ex-husband during that time wrote a music composition, Voices, for which he was awarded his doctorate…

The nine images shown here are the only ones I have ever made in response to an overwhelming emotion. My ex-husband left me in his mind and body long before I ever put his belongings on the porch of our house in Worthington. His change of heart happened after he attended with me and my…

In the process of converting images from slides to digital files using a small scanner, I touch years worth of antiquated records. The first time I went through my slides with the intention of cleaning them out, my husband and I had just divorced and among my first responses to being alone was to tackle…
