“Sometimes life gives us constraints and it is our job as makers to embrace and find creative solutions to keep our practice going. This talk will address how time and space limitations have changed my practice, working in multiples, and cover a wide range of works I have done over the years using both metal and fiber. I will also share how my small collective, SPOOL, explores and examines our individual creative journeys as we collaborate on our upcoming show at gallery 203.  I am interested in creating meaning and narrative through form and materials with my sculpture. The materials I use are an intrinsic part of my art making process. By exploring resonances between a single line and densely packed wire, my pieces become metaphors evoking themes of time, change, balance, tension, breath, and decay. These sculptural objects are created through repetitive and time intensive processes such as weaving, netting, and looping. The resulting forms are contemplative sounding boards that echo my impressions and experiences.” – www.Lydiatjioe.com
