Art in Your Community: Nightshift

In her practice Winnie Lynn explores interpersonal relationships that define the human condition by focussing on microcosmic systems of the digital world. Incorporating kaleidoscopic imagery, which is manipulated through digital media, Lynn examines themes of gender, femininity, and identity within our modern landscape. 

‘The concept for my two artworks comes from my personal experience as a woman and sex worker in the online space, where I faced the misogynistic and gender-based discrimination that female presenting people encounter on a daily basis. I want the audience to have to examine how the digital spaces we inhabit create an interpersonal disconnection, depriving us of real human interaction. This disconnect impacts women’s experiences online, and the responses to sex workers within these digital spaces’.

Lynn has created two Mandalas to express this concept as they symbolise the collective unconscious connection that humans have with each other, through a diagram of the individual, the collective and the wider world. Lynn’s work beckons a collective search for meaning and purpose in online spaces by examining themes of gender, femininity, and identity through a digital lens.
