A collaborative dialogue between Artist Lydia Smith and Poet Sha Weï.
Compromising of works titled 'Are we Human', 'Physical Bodies' and 'Let's be Human’
Connected through New york based Art collective - TXT.NFT - Smith and Weï, both inspired by the human psyche, merged their practices to create a collaborative NFT Artwork inspired by Weï's poem, 'Let's be Human.'
Layering found images and digitally drawing; Smith created a collage in response to the poem. From this visual, Smith translated the two-dimensional representation into the three-dimensional realm - Sculpting by hand in clay.
Smith's unique sculpture method converges IRL works with the digital space, morphing and distorting them into Digital Artworks.
What she values most about the NFT space is the aspect of collaboration. Through this collaboration, smith is thrilled to be supporting the Art of Poetry.
