Lynsey MacKenzie lives and works in Glasgow and graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 2019 with a first class BA (Hons) in Fine Art: Painting and Printmaking.
Her first publication with Glasgow Print Studio, Fizz reflects MacKenzie's ongoing inquiry into memory, time, and place through an intuitive process of mark-making, layering, and erasure. As with her painting practice, the creation of this edition was a journey of experimentation and discovery:
"As with my painting practice, the approach of making this edition was one of continual enquiry, trial and error. In my work I explore place, time, and memory, through shifting planes of colour and gesture. I worked intuitively on the print, allowing it to unfold, and hope that it continues to unfold upon viewing. Thank you to Scott Campbell for helping me to realise the work."
