Lyndon’s research and practice interests are broad and cross a number of areas. At the moment, his current and evolving research area is primarily concerned with the emphasis on drawing, as this has always been regarded as a pre-requisite skill and highly significant within both industry and within art and design education.

The research he has been developing recently explores the theme of drawing, its importance and how methods of delivery can be implemented within the curricula with innovation. He explores and questions what drawing is and its relevance in today’s current climate, where political changes have affected arts education within schools.

Traditional drawing has always been important for developing a range of skills, including observation, analysis, speculation development as well as the acquisition of technical skills. The research undertaken consists of a series of small ‘drawing projects’ exploring notions of drawing which adopt a range of visual methodologies.

Lyndon intends to work as a ‘devil’s visual advocate’, to question and explore drawing with a focus on traditional and non-traditional techniques and processes.
