LYDIA SMITH
Vessel, 2023
plaster, edition 1 of 9
22 cm high; 17 cm wide; 19 cm diameter
Am I going to carry you,
Or are you going to carry me?

We grow together and flow together.
Perhaps we can even carry each other?

Lot Essay

Lydia Smith's work illustrates a dialogue between line and form. Creating geometry inside a physical and digital ecosystem. From Her hands to software to Her mind, and then back to Her hands; a three-way dialogue starts to unfold. Her finished works are a balanced expression of this relationship. Their complex simplicity serves as a break of consciousness to the viewer. A stop and a pause.

Throughout this dialogue, Her mind is imagining our future as beings, both our spiritual and Avatar selves. She believes sculpture is a physicality that grounds us between these two worlds. Sculpture commands space. It forces the air (real or immersive) to move and flow around it.
