The “Drowning” series was created from self-portraits, exhibiting parts of myself floating in what would seem like deep black water. The figures are rolling, sinking, floating, fighting: surviving. Each piece has an individual story of a beautiful struggle. The series consists of four panels that can be hung together in a row, or in a square formation, or hung individually. I created these pieces using photographs, cutting or tearing them, displacing and distorting them, and layering them. Each canvas consists of layers of photograph pieces, acrylic gel medium, and black paint. The layers form waves, ripples, textures, barriers, that shape around and with the figure. These layers create a sense of unity between the deep shadowed figure and its unstable and unknown environment.

My name is Lynne Greenaway, I am a Canadian photographic artist living in the Netherlands. My obsession with photography began at the age of 12 when I was at Art Camp. I created a pinhole camera from a shoe box and I have been intrigued by light and shadow ever since. I have a degree in Media, Information and Technoculture from the University of Western Ontario. I also studied at Loyalist College, where I received a post-graduate diploma in Photojournalism. I continued my studies in New York City under the apprenticeship of world renowned celebrity photographer David La Chapelle. I have shown my work in galleries in Toronto and in the Netherlands. I have received awards and won various contests across North America. I was also the runner up in the "Naked in the House" competition on Fashion Television, Toronto, Canada. Over the past 3 years I have been focused on creating images of self-reflection, examining inevitable postpartum physical changes, introspection on becoming a new mother, and reflecting upon entering midlife. My goal is to share the results of my introspection in a beguiling way. I make use of high contrast lighting to create deep shadows and by sculpting the light I try to evoke a dramatic image. I also create print collages and canvases by mixing my print images, ink, paper, paint, and then distort them by tearing, cutting, and gluing to create a mixed media final piece. Sometimes I photograph my collages to create a final image. The focus of my art is to understand form, and to create images which encourage study and interpretation.
