LYN RAYMER
Lyn Raymer’s latest drawings began in Sha Tin, Hong Kong as a series of works that look at the changing shapes of shifting crowds. The carefully observed figures move through public areas, migrating across the surface, determining destinations and detours.
Raymer uses a reductive technique where erasers are used to reveal the light areas through the charcoal. Her working lines both expose the history of the drawing, as well as the transitory movement of the figures through space.
Lyn Raymer studied fine arts at RMIT and Monash University in the 70s. She taught visual arts (International Baccalaureate) in Hong Kong, and later conducted drawing workshops in HK and Dubai. After 22 years of teaching, practicing art, and managing her own studio and gallery in Hong Kong, Raymer is now based in Bendigo.
