Lydia Musco
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Life cycles – the idea of a things always changing, here then gone – are a constant current within the things I make. Exploring this idea helps me understand the concept of letting go with grace. It helps me accept the mystery and complete unknowingness of this thing that happens to every person. I make objects that force me to let them decay or disappear and to deal with them for a finite time. Perhaps this is my practice for letting go on a larger scale. Loss has come to mean many contradictory things to me. On one hand it can mean sadness, emptiness. Or it can present freedom and mystery.
