Lynn Hynd is an artist and practice based researcher living on the East coast of Scotland and has lectured in the Fine Art Painting and Printmaking department at Glasgow School of Art since 2008. She graduated from the Painting department at Glasgow School of Art in 2001 before working on the committee at Transmission Gallery, Glasgow and with Sorcha Dallas Gallery, Glasgow.

Hynd’s work has been exhibited in various Uk and international locations over the years, both in solo and group exhibitions and been supported by funding from Hope Scott Trust, Scottish Arts council and Glasgow City council. She was the recipient of a residency at Cove Park in 2006.

Her work crosses over areas of painting, print, collage, drawing, installation and sculpture, and has advanced out of a continued depth of enquiry into the relationship between line and form. Hynd is interested in the interior break-up of work as line and form become separated and materialized through the creative process and what this transitional sense of ‘becoming’ is as, time, form, material, edge and line dislocate and re-exist. Casting, pouring and drawing thin plaster, printed forms that embody the limits of the artists reach Hynd’s work create a tension as surface, space, and edge become actual rather than depicted.

Practice- based research interests include:

Thresholds: line, cut, edge, form, and surface.
Process: time, embedded physical experience, and its relationship to form.
Extension of drawing: in space, through time, between two and three dimensions.
Materials: Language, and tools.
