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?
Flowing, Moving, Rocking, Floating
The turbulent nature of life.
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.
