Lynne Speake ... A very mixed media abstract Artist in Cornwall
Lynne Speake is organically driven and led by her materials .. an alchemical maker ... gently inviting people to think about the environmental impact of their actions'.
Directly influenced and excited by things unnoticed ... decay, peeling paint, rusting metal, colour, texture and pattern, she is inspired on a daily basis by erosion, the elements and hidden treasures ... things often discarded and overlooked.
'It is the emotional journey of making that is the most important part, everything else is secondary ... I love that there is hidden beauty within often unnoticed treasures, hidden works of art just waiting to be discovered. Discarded by man and shaped by the elements'

Art-Jewellery / Wearable Sculpture ...
Assemblages of found and gifted treasures sourced from Cornish boatyards, beaches and forests.
The elements that I choose to work with have been found or gifted ... often recycled from un-ordinary or unexpected sources ...
The individual elements do not have a 'traditional' magnetism ...
They draw themselves together and find their partners
They attract each other
They know who they do and who they do not want to be beside
Their magnetism is not controlled by me ...
The universe and the elements draw to and away from each other
They know who are the important 'others' that they have to be with
They know who they will best work together with and those that will cancel them out
Their magnetism is strong, it is elemental and it is the way that it should be
I am just the pair of hands that pick them up, bring them to my space, listen to them
and let myself be channeled through their magnetic elemental power.
