Lyndsay’s jewellery collection, ‘Na Mara’ (Gaelic, meaning ‘of the sea’), originated from a visit to an industrial North Queensferry beach. Captured by messy compositions of debris created by the tides, she seeks to expose unexpected, unconventional beauty; a theme she has continually developed since graduating from Glasgow School of Art’s ‘Jewellery and Silversmithing’ course in 2018.
She makes work in Glasgow using a palette based on her beach-finds; working in tones of silver, base metals and gold, she creates pattern in metal like seaweed on sand. Using a self-developed technique of wire-inlay to combine materials, Lyndsay creates pieces with a distinctive, gestural aesthetic.
Drawing is a vital part of her process, using mark-making to develop impressions from the coastal landscape. Her jewellery arises from the drawn-line, creating tactile, intentionally non-matching pieces varying with each iteration, expressing the shifting nature of her subject; as with a drawing, each is unique.
