Lydia Bell
£0.00
Lydia’s practice involves navigating a language of the working landscape that surrounds her. She draws from the ever-shifting environment of her home farm, exploring a personal relationship with the natural land. She uses her own experience as a way to question our connection with the landscape through printmaking and sculpture. Informed by the mythology of space and sound intersect with human and animal coexistence. She explores the impact of agriculture on the land and use the land as a drawing tool itself, from livestock to river. Lydia’s work is a response to the encompassing land and sounds, using a bodily experience to reflect and create.
Space and place form the basis of her investigation, focusing on the intimate connection between herself and the landscape. She considers herself as an occupant, a keeper for a short time in a land which is timeless. This opens questions on identity and belonging. Inspired by what surrounds her, she explores deeper on the connections at the intersection of landscape forming works that are made in, and off the land. Patching together a narrative of living side by side with the natural, mirroring the relationship that has evolved between the farmer and the livestock and the marks they leave behind.
