Goldmine Brook: A Sacred Place
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…

Transparent Leaves, 2024
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…

Conglomeration Series 1-15, 2023
Way back when somewhere in the midst of 2023, I began the series that I thought would tell the story of my art-making since the 70s. I told the story in The Artful Mind (pages 22-31) that goes like this: In the 90s, I saw a retrospective of the work of Jasper Johns in which…

Towards the Light, 1998-99
When I started to make these complicated wall-hung relief pieces, I had no idea that I would eventually title them Towards the Light. The title is a metaphor for my Mother’s death, which occurred on April 29, 1999. The twelve works are each made in three steps. The canvas was made by gluing canvas to…

11 different Views, 1979
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…

Colored In Coloring Book Pages 1-42, 2023
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…

Syntactical Shifts, Installation Space, November, 2023
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…

Spiritual Space, 1999
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…

Spiritual Landscapes, 1999
My mother died at the age of 73 on April 29,1999. Coincidentally with her death, my entire life went sideways. My ex-husband was in China when I shared the news of her death. He said he would come back to the US for her memorial. My father picked him up at the Charleston, SC airport.…

Biography of Round Hill, 1979 and Trees Visiting Rooms, 1980
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…
