About Lindsay Sekulowicz
Lindsay Sekulowicz is an artist, currently based in London, who for the past several years has worked in collaboration with museums including "Museo La Specola", The Museum of Natural History in Florence, Italy, and The Hunterian Museum, Glasgow.
Lindsay studied Environmental Art at The Glasgow School of Art, graduating in 2006. She has lived and traveled extensively in China, a fact that greatly informs her practice which is narrative, and references collections, scientific studies, and the desire for a Utopia: perfection through the world existing as a series of inventories. It often culminates in the physical or metaphorical destruction of an object or an impossibility of completion. Her drawings and sculptures focus on the minute and the gigantic, sometimes materialising as recreations of fictional spaces, and ultimately, the return to myth.
Since graduating, she has lived in Italy and London. In Italy she began to work with Museo La Specola, traveling with them in June 2008 on an expedition to the Northern Hulu Perak and Kelantan areas of the jungle in Malaysia. The expedition was to form a prelimilary faunistical inventory of the beetle species inhabiting the area and culminated in an exhibition documenting the biodiversity of the area and notably, the discovery of a new species: Calodromus Kosteliae.
In June 2009 she accompanied scientists from Museo La Specola on an entomological expedition to the Otonga Forest Reserve in Ecuador, situated in the Ecuadorian Andes: an area of pristine cloud forest, and a biodiversity hotspot. She plans to work through drawing, video and animation, to create narratives concerned with inventories and aspects of human endeavor specific to scientific study. Lindsay will be using Artists' Water Colour as one of her main media.
