Lyddon works intuitively through a process of layering, drawing and erasure using oil paint, pencil, or even ceramic and found objects, following an approach akin to automatic drawing. The subject reveals itself through this unfolding until she can make sense of it. However the aim is not resolution, rather a parley through the resulting material chaos, so the back and forth between herself and the media, both repels, seduces and reorders the process, as a constant rebalancing between light and dark, beauty and ugliness, chaos and order, humour and the tragic. This element of chance fosters cartoon-like grotesque postures in her figures, moving them into the fantastic, but brutal, realm of folk tales.
