Lydia Diemer
There is a table. I am seated, maybe hovering. I am a locus of small events, repeated actions, all concepts contingent, unfolding. The tabletop is even, stable and continuously alterable. It is a place where I am surrounded by glimmers and shadows of paper essays, my tactile attempts. The room is a container, a shelter, a remnant.
Lydia Diemer is an Iowa City-based artist and arts worker. She studies, teaches, and creates work at the edges of print media. Her practice is acquisitive: a walk to gather, a swim to reflect and write. She works with the entropic forces of time, the careworn qualities paused or accelerated, and the associative seeps of objects, textures, relays and blindsight, trying to craft a plan for reuse or display.
