LYDIA SMITH
Smith’s work is a conversation between the digital and the physical worlds. 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 physicality which grounds us between these two worlds. Sculpture commands space. It forces the air (real or immersive) to move and flow around it.
She was selected for her unique process of scanning and actualising sculpture with exceptional technical skill.

Lydia Smith’s work is a conversation between the digital and the physical worlds. From her hands to software to her mind, and then back to her hands; a three-way dialogue starts to unfold whilst always putting power back into Smith’s hands as the artist. 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, Smith’s 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.
