Bio
Lydia Hirte was exposed to author's jewellery during her internship with a master of silversmithing. Following the renowned jewellery design programme at Pforzheim University, she quickly realised that she preferred to explore materials that were not yet well-represented in jewellery, and move away from traditional approaches. During her studies, she worked with Japanese paper on wire and even sausage strings. Lydia then became a freelance jewellery designer. To be more efficient in her experimentation, she decided to work with cost-effective models made from bristol card. In a moment of play with a bundle of these forms, she accessed a new creative space in which paper showed a stunning amount of deformation when under tension.Statement
My artistic work with drawing cards mainly revolves around spatiality, direction, and movement. I am always aiming to link wearability with sculptural form. While working with the material, I use both its flexibility and stability. It is essential for me to generate resistance and feel the physical power of this bundled material. This determines my research and artistic search.News!
