Observing the change of seasons over lockdown, artist Sammi Lynch summons a sense of place and memory
Transport yourself back to the dusky skies and rippling dunes of summer with the London-based artist s deeply evocative works.
Words
During the first lockdown, artist Sammi Lynch had the pleasure of looking after a dog. Most mornings, she would journey with the dog from her flat in Stoke Newington to Walthamstow wetlands for a walk. And over the course of a year, Sammi and the dog witnessed the seasons subtly changing before them. As golden brown leaves dropped to the ground leaving trunks bare, and as the days shortened while frost crept in, Sammi observed the shifting seasons that she wouldn’t have noticed in previous years. She tells us: “I found the colourful swell of spring especially uplifting and inspiring.” In turn, she started to channel the landscape’s subtleties into her beautiful illustrative work.
