Lydia Thornley is a graphic designer and creative consultant who draws her way, on tubes and trains, to and from her East London desk. What, and who, Lydia spots depends on when she travels: an early start means labourers, then City workers, there’s the creative industry rush hour and a late night catches partygoers and shift workers making their weary ways home. At any time of day, one of the things that expresses London in all its human variety is hair: colourful, subtle, modern, vintage, sculptural, practical, point of difference or badge of belonging. Hair Lines is a series of drawings developed from these visual notes and from conversations at the Beaucatcher salon.
Hair Lines will be in the salon from mid-July to the end of September, with a private view opening the exibition on 15 July 2018.
