Lynne Chapman

Sheffield UK

Lynne Chapman is a Sheffield-based visual artist, creating hand-embroidered, principally sculptural textiles.

Recent projects explore her relationship with the various symptoms of Aphantasia (the lack of a mind’s eye). Her artwork probes the connections and fractures between perception and memory, considering the role that visual recall plays in the maintenance of our sense of identity and in our relationships with friends and family.

Lynne’s practice includes regular collaborations with academics, a means by which she keeps herself continually challenged and her work is encouraged to evolve.  Marking-making and exploration have always been central to her process and each piece of artwork involves a balance between planning, organic evolution and enforced randomness.
