Lydia ~ Zyphryus INSTALLATION ART I created a hut for the Masterpiece in a Day contest at Fountain Square in Indianapolis. September 2008. I have been building "walk-in/crawl inside" structures since I was a child. 2005, NSAD Gallery, Norwich, UK. Steel, wood, text, sketchbook. I invited viewers to walkthrough the tunnel. Coming from another room, the tunnel lead to my sketchbook bolted to the wall. No one hesitated looking through it, which was my goal. The sketchbook included thoughts, sketches, jokes, and journalism from my semester leading up to the project. The paper structures on the walls reflected the idea of looking at a city from above. One of my ideas behind this work is that no matter how closely or how long we look, we can never know the whole story. When we are faced with the 'overwhelming,' we tend to pick out smaller sections that we can identify with, or focus on. 2005, NSAD Gallery, Norwich, UK. mixed media, tree branches, string, collage and paint on paper (ripped) "Into the Deep Woods" is about a journey into the self to confronting the soul. This was made in my mid 20s, during a transformative time of self evaluation and discovery. |
