About My Work
Photography by Paul Lynch
I like to experiment with different materials from papier collé to print making and to mix these materials with drawing and painting. I also like to work with different surfaces.
My themes re-occur – windows, curtains, out of focus images – these are like memories. I use the nostalgia of Autumn and memories delicate and fragile like the butterflies easily torn as one’s emotions can be torn apart so sometimes the images are strong, then they can become dis-embodied, easily dismembered.
I like to use the things around me that I immediately experience which dictates the subject matter – thus the butterfly series from fragile memories easily damaged butterfly wings to an interest in the actual species.
The curtain series based on memories – from things dimly remembered then re-occurring veiled. The leaf series based on my favourite season – Autumn – walks looking at the leaves which became icons again, remembering the years and what is to come so they are both personal and I hope, strong images from what happens in my life.
