The Artist
Born Lindsay
Amanda Lowcock in Bury on 8th March 1986, Lindsay now lives
in Heywood. She was educated at Siddal Moor Sports College in
Heywood, then at Bury College and at Salford School of Art,
Salford University. She holds a BA (Hons) in Visual Arts.
Her work
has been exhibited at Bury Art Galley (July 2004), and at Bolton
Old Hall (June 2003).
In 2002 Lindsay worked at Radio Heywood presenting a 2 hour
show playing independent music, including some of her own pieces.
Also that year she took part in a Community Art
Project: Mural on Local Buildings and won the 1st prize of £500
which was presented to her by Jim Dobbin MP Middleton and Heywood.
Lindsay
describes herself as "a developer and manipulator of the
mediums of vision and sound". Her main influences are as
diverse as Egon Schiele, 'The Backstreet Maudlin' notes
of The Smiths, and German techno music’s dark rhythms.
Her work
challenges the eye and mind...
"...arresting
attention, forcing a confrontation of the bloody notions of
human sickness and misery - aspects of life we would otherwise
prefer to leave unacknowledged, and concomitantly, unchallenged."
Lindsay
continues to confront the forgotten sides of life with her latest
project; a project that draws together a serial killer’s
madness and evil; his victims bloody pain and death; and the
apparent paradox of a bright room that threatens darkness and
chaos. Added to the visual is the discordant sounds of dysfunctional
circuitry and dark ambient music; again, offering a paradox
of melody and the threat of chaotic breakdown.
