NB: This is a Lambda print on C-type photographic paper. All our prints come with a certificate signed by the artist and a unique edition number. The prints are produced with a white border around the photograph to allow for framing. We also have included some cotton gloves to protect the print during handling.

Borrowing from the aesthetic of Seventeenth Century Dutch masters, Lynne Collins reworks the symbolism of the still life to make a modern allegory of decadence.

Superimposing scenes of decay and abandonment with tables laden with fruit and flowers Lynne produces a narrative that questions society's casual acceptance of wealth and abundance and its propensity to throw away things and places it no longer has any use for.

For this series "The Trespasser", Lynne visits abandoned old buildings before they are either redeveloped or knocked down. She roams the corridors and empty rooms captivated by the beauty she finds in the broken windows, peeling paint and rotten floorboards. For Lynne the abandonment of once elegant and proud structures has become a visual representation of the ease in which a society can consume and discard.
