From the Street to the World: LUVA Gallery podcast takeover!

From LUVA Gallery: "In this episode we share and discuss the work of Lydia Poole, a contemporary artist from Yorkshire and a current DPS student at Central Saint Martins. For the past year Lydia has been a member of the LUVA Gallery team. The video work discussed in the podcast, is described as ‘A four-part woven narrative of the conflict between mind and the sublime; the internal and the external. Referencing fictional tragedies and Romanticised fables of drownings to map volatile exchanges between bodies of water and our bodies (of water)’. The work is available to view on our Instagram page luva_gallery An extract from the video: The willow, the call, avoid. The call, the voice, the song bind.
