Lynne Speake ... A very mixed media abstract Artist in Cornwall
Lynne Speake is a multi-disciplinary artist living and working in Cornwall.
Originally a painter Lynne has a passion for colour, texture and pattern. She is fascinated and inspired on a daily basis by erosion and the hidden treasures of things that are often discarded and overlooked.
Her creations are led by whatever objects she selects to work with and whatever emerges from her bench is always organically driven by her materials.
'I love that there is a hidden beauty within these often unnoticed treasures hidden works of art just waiting to be discovered. Discarded by man and shaped by mother nature's 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 ...
I aim to gently invite people to think about the environmental impact of what they throw away... hidden works of art just waiting to be discovered, a hidden beauty within these often unnoticed treasures. Things discarded by man and shaped by mother nature's elements
I look at what seems to want to go together ... I let the materials choose who they want to be with ... I then assemble, solder, fasten and fix until what emerges is what has chosen to be ... my materials always dictate the final form.
