ABOUT THE PROJECT
Lyhne‘s works employ various art historical references and thus formally resists a clear classification. Committed both to the craft of making and a conceptual framework, she includes different materials and methodologies, from hand-crafting to the employment of readymades. The work engages with reproduction, but at a level that exposes its labour, craft and the worker’s hand. A handmade sensibility substitutes industrial reproducibility, to observe and deconstruct our relationship to consumer culture and desire. Flirting with the symbolic power of things while adopting formally and visually disparate registers taken from art history and design, the work seduces, impregnated with potential narratives.
