Protected Head is a reflection on the legacy of Covid times. Most of us adapted, and adopted new cultural protocols and behaviours, some of which prevail in society. It was a serious but bizarre period of time.
I have used the ubiquitous N95 mask as a symbol for this time. It has a pleasingly organic form in itself, contoured and patterned. I have multiplied them, carving the marble in the form of a head implying the spread of the virus.

John Lynch
I have a restless curiosity regarding the aesthetic and symbolic power of materials and how they can be used. I believe art has a vital role to play in these times and endeavour to reconnect the audience to the natural world and express ideas regarding humanity, society and particularly the climate emergency.
Although trained as a stone-carver, I work in a wide range of materials including sandstone, marble, timber, bronze, plaster, steel, concrete, paper and at times, found objects and mixed-media.
I have a degree in fine arts, graduate diploma in art education and a graduate certificate in design.
