Lynn Harrigan is a fiber artist, poet, and teacher. Following the publication of her verse novel, Moon Sea Crossing (Black Moss Press, 2005), Lynn began to explore visual modes of poetic expression. Initial experiments with textiles ignited an obsession and embroidery quickly became the focus of Lynn’s artistic practice.
Lynn has a number of projects in development. Field Guide to Longing is an installation-length poem comprised of a sequence of embroidered images. Lynn’s fascination with the Great Lakes is the impetus for an ongoing
series of embroidered Studies that capture the Lakes’ moods through an exploration of colour and texture. Multimedia collaborations with Scott M2, including Oblique Poetries and planktos, are also in the works.
