Lynda McDonald

Lynda uses both hand and machine embroidery techniques; her creative process “just a matter of following the thread”.

Holding a BA Hons in Creative Embroidery and BSc Hons in Environmental Science, the latter informs her creative work and her concerns about the destruction of the natural world and subsequent biodiversity loss.

Rediscovering her 30-year-old drawing of the Geological Timescale inspired Lynda to create a record of the ultimate layers of life; an explanatory template in embroidery that illustrates the beauty and manifestation of the forces around us…to remind us of the long past.

Also, a reminder to remember how we’ve evolved to this point and to reclaim our seminal connections to these organic processes.
