Lydia Martin is truly tying up loose ends with this exhibition, wrapping up a body of work whose long process of creating, contemplating, solving the unresolved, began in 2017.
Artist list
Lydia Martin
Her hands' torsion, knot and stretch, bend and flow the silver, the metal of her choice, in elastic ways, freeing it from its preconceived forms, shapes or notions of metalworking perfection. The artist shares that The completed pieces act as vessels for self-expression, reflecting the way individuals might construct themselves.
She examines with an observant, thoughtful eye and a playful spirit, our relationships with ourselves and with others. Martin muses that all the things that bring us together are all hopes and no dreams nothing quite as it seems.
And she has some wise words for us all: When we’re stuck, wrap and secure them, loosen and begin again.
Lydia E. Martin is a contemporary jewelry artist, educator, and curator based in Little Rock, Arkansas, where she is currently the Visiting Assistant Professor of Art in Metal, and the Windgate Artist in Residence in Metal at the University of Arkansas. She holds an M.F.A. in jewelry and metalsmithing from the State University of New York at New Paltz, NY, and a B.F.A. in jewelry and metalsmithing from the Rochester Institute of Technology, in Rochester, NY. Martin has exhibited worldwide. This is Martin’s second solo exhibition at Jewelers’Werk.
Gallery hours:
Monday through Saturday 11 am – 5 pm or by appointment.
