Lynn Dennison: Human Traces
Flowers Gallery
Mar. 3, 2025 - Apr. 2, 2016
The works of Lynn Dennison depict constructed natural environments such as city parks and public beaches to examine our everyday relationship with the landscape.
A new video work by Dennison will be exhibited for the first time in this exhibition. Runners 2014 depicts static shots of a London park, interrupted by figures jogging through the frame. The composition is carefully balanced to refer to traditional representations of the landscape, in both painting and photography, with winding paths framed by established foliage and trees. This ‘natural’ public space, which is carefully preserved and managed for the enjoyment of the city’s residents, is seen here as a backdrop for day-to-day human activities.
