About this work

This round print is packed with tiny, repeating shapes that look like buildings or people. The colors are mostly dark blues and blacks, with small bursts of gold, green, and white scattered throughout. It’s arranged in a star-like pattern, with lines radiating from the center like spokes on a wheel. The title *Mixed Memories* hints that the image might play with layers of meaning—maybe blending past and present. The way the shapes overlap creates a sense of depth, even though everything is flat. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this print in person.

About the artist

Artist

Lynne Blackburn

Lynne Blackburn’s prints feel like postcards from a life lived sideways—she once spent a month in Reykjavik just to draw the light on the harbor at 3 AM.
