FISH EYES: Lonnie Hutchinson, 2008
Lonnie Hutchinson’s life has become nomadic, her ideas more fluid and her production more technologically dependent. Shrinking global business and the space where art and life divide, technology has become her friend. Every lived experience is a creative reason to congregate, to share the homespun charms of nana and the kids, stories and references to previous works and travels.
Here the personal, the handmade and the everyday seem more fragile and precious then before. So we may like to curse the speed and the darker side of globalism but our rapidly changing environment doesn’t appear to have hampered our creativity. Instead it has enhanced what being creative means, where and how it manifests allowing a new sense of fellowship and belonging.
