Bundanon : Stage Two. January 2010


The Fence Lines Project is a temporal environment installation that consists of mirror pieces cut to the specific dimension of the top surfaces of fence posts on the Bundanon property. Bundanon boasts an enormous property with vast rolling landscapes and magnificent open sky lines. The environment installation aims to merge the naturally occurring green landscape with the blue sky-scape. An introduction of mirrors along fence lines at Bundanon will lower the sky into the green landscape, allowing for a poetics in a contemporary creation of environment installation art.

The second in a series of temporal environment installations by Lynch on the Bundanon property has been scheduled for Sat 23 & Sun 24 January 2010.

Artist statement – September 2009

The visual arts practice of Meredith Frances Lynch is a fusion-pursuit of painterly and multi-disciplinary art practice. An investigation into the shared territory between painting and other art forms, such as artist books, installation art, meditative practice, performance art, political art, and so forth is underway in the studio practice. This is an investigation into an expanded understanding of contemporary painting as one engages elements to do with painting. Meaning, the historic placement and definition of painting; the associated material matter; the work of artists considering themselves to be painters; and any other singled-out elements that might combine to shape the practice of painting - historically as well as contemporarily.

The studio practice is an exploration into the contemporary expanded field of painting. I create works that employ repetitive action, and in turn I engage a meditative process in the making of artworks. These paintings trace the time and act of creating the artworks and, consequentially, the artwork becomes an abstract form of diary of the creative experience completed by artist for the viewer to further contemplate.
