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.
