Lindsey’s art considers how the interzone of nostalgia, grief, and desire can be imprinted on everyday objects, sourcing her materials from recycled printed material. Lindsey relies on the malleability of paper as a way to transform our sense of attention and our concept of memory while also posing questions through the material’s intended form with the creation of collaged pieces. This approach to her work draws from Lindsey’s experience of becoming disabled, an identity that requires a creative and constant reimagination of our ideas of fixedness of ourselves and the things we interact with.

​

 

“My Cerulean Lover” (below) triangulates the sensory nature of desire, the intimacy that observation provides to the details of a specific scene — ones that often would be considered interstitial or liminal in our everyday interactions with others.

​

 

In “A World No Bigger Than the Bed,” the poem's text mimics the cadence of a recalled memory, which is then layered over a simple collage created by Lindsey.

 

These two pieces are a part of a larger black and white series of poems that focus on how the recollection of certain memories can saturate and enhance the details we keep.
