Lindsay Viner
Lindsay Viner is a visual artist living and working in Oxfordshire, UK. “I am fascinated by the places and stories of those who have gone before us and the ones that we give to those who come after us. I predominantly use paint and reclaimed textiles to explore ideas about inheritance. How we receive and process the places, lands, thoughts, feelings and objects (and the marks on these things) that are handed down to us. And what we in turn, both consciously and unconsciously, choose to pass on. Reclaimed textiles have inherent notions of previous stories, often with coupled the intimacy of being associated with the body or the domestic, that can hold unique resonances; paint, for me, has a newness and immediacy that connects me to my subject in present, at that singular moment when my brush meets the canvas or paper”.
