Episode 5 - Lydia Smith
Lydia Smith is a Multi-disciplined Artist working Physically and Digitally. Her studio is based in Bank, Central London. Through her practice, she explores the Theme of Human Connectivity which encompasses subtopics, including Ancient History, Technology, Science, Spirituality and Anatomy.
Smith was trained in academic sculpture at the University of the Arts London (2014-2017). She also continued her training at private ateliers in Greece, Spain and France. Smith began her career working as a modeller and carver within the British and international Film industry (2017-2021).
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 her 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, 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.
