Lydia Kinney @lydmk.bsky.social · 20/08/2025I needed a target number of pieces that would keep me from overworking a more precious few—I landed on 40 before scaling up the collage work and starting to make paintings from a handful of favorites 010
Lydia Kinney @lydmk.bsky.social · 11/08/2025Hi Allan! I use tape for my hard edges but mask off large sections then cut away with an exacto, so it’s not the edge of the tape. I also put down a layer of matte medium before painting the surface. 110
Lydia Kinney @lydmk.bsky.social · 17/04/2025Hi hello, it’s a busy season but I’m getting some very dramatically lit time in the studio. 0130
Lydia Kinney @lydmk.bsky.social · 22/03/2025Picked up some 5x7 panels to be Less Precious with (not pictured: the 5x7 I’ve been Extremely Precious with) 0110
Lydia Kinney @lydmk.bsky.social · 02/03/2025It’s a rough start but I’m getting back into a studio flow—here’s today’s work in progress: 0110

Lydia Kinney @lydmk.bsky.social · 24/02/2025These photos don’t do justice to our turnout or all of the hard work fellow artists put into this project! I first got involved with the art garden via the 2024 Winter Hoopla, and I’m blown away by everything they do. 150
Lydia Kinney @lydmk.bsky.social · 24/02/2025I put up a cardboard/painted paper/ light based installation at the Shelburne Falls Trolley Museum as part of the Art Garden’s Winter Hoopla this past weekend: 2201

Lydia Kinney @lydmk.bsky.social · 29/01/2025Thanks for sharing this, I’ll keep in mind once I have a draft worth reviewing! 000
Lydia Kinney @lydmk.bsky.social · 27/01/2025You’re totally right! I just have to complain about it online first. 110

Lydia Kinney @lydmk.bsky.social · 26/01/2025“I was writing an artist statement when the imperial boomerang hit me in the neck”, sure, is an artist statement, in the way that I’m willing to admit that artmaking is both Pretty Flippant and The Most Thing I Can Do 030
Lydia Kinney @lydmk.bsky.social · 26/01/2025Lately I’ve felt an aversion to theory as a theft of joy, and harder to take seriously—even if it’s as important, as an artist—in The Current Climate. The writing is infinitely harder than the painting. 130
Lydia Kinney @lydmk.bsky.social · 26/01/2025That was 2022, immediately prior to a Big Shift. Now it’s more like: 140
Lydia Kinney @lydmk.bsky.social · 26/01/2025It’s a small but nagging thing that I’m overdue for a new artist statement. When I wrote my currently circulated statement my work looked like: 3313

Lydia Kinney @lydmk.bsky.social · 25/01/2025Last summer I switched gears from Painting On Canvas and assembled painted paper, I used 80 of 100 crappy off brand xacto blades, I loved it and I don’t know if I’ll ever do it again. 3383

Lydia Kinney @lydmk.bsky.social · 22/01/2025Anyway I really value having a virtual space that says “hello, I’m also working on my solitary studio practice, g’night” so g’night 0180
Lydia Kinney @lydmk.bsky.social · 21/01/2025The thing is “oh a discord for sharing creative process and exchanging feedback” sounds a. Deranged and 2; like something I’d have to manage Unless 120
