I got some of my inspiration for this from a magnifying glass that I had incorporated into my collage project a few weeks before. As you can see my assemblage has quite the contradiction through colour and even shape. Withing the black frame it is bright, full of colour and organic shapes. But outside of that is the black and grey frame and handle. The light is surrounded by the darkness, the deeper meaning I am trying to get across is that there is always light within the dark. You could be at your very worst but there is still light left, it's never completely gone, only becomes harder to find. The magnifying glass is representing how small that light could be at one time or another, but it is in fact still there.

Lyndsay Martin Artist Statement May 2018
Lyndsay Martin is a grade 10 student enrolled in the Visual Arts and Media Academy at her high school in Airdrie, Alberta. Throughout her life she has always taken an interest in the arts, doing crafts and taking pictures from a young age she has always been full of creativity. This year Lyndsay has decided to take a step into painting, yet still not straying far from her original plan of this school year. Originally wanting to stay focused on bettering herself as a photographer, she uses some of her photography pieces as inspiration. Over the past six weeks Lyndsay has been working on an independent project which she has named “A Temporary World.” In order to create these four acrylic paintings that will be shown in her upcoming art show, she has used previously taken photos and put a twist on them. Using inspiration from the Fauvist art style she turned her pictures of the winter landscape in Alberta into a bright colourful unknown “Temporary World."
