Lynne Cartlidge creates gentle compositional
studies of objects found in the everyday: a vase of flowers, a
teacup, the familiar settings of a table, where each positioning of
an apparently ordinary item takes centre stage as resonant
balanced elements, played out as a musician might arrange notes
on a scale. Her work as a colourist is evident. A table cloth
provides the platform of the palette as do the particular flowers
appearing in the display, and the arrangement of these elements
in relation to the particular light cast by the environment, the
most recent being St. Ives, change the palette of shadows cast
across the cloth by the objects.
