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 Gallery (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.
