Lydia Desormeaux

Visual Artist

Hailing from Abbeville, Louisiana, Lydia exists at the intersection of heritage preservation and storytelling. Much of their work draws on experimentation with heritage crafts and folk stories often completed through mixed media and found object pieces.

"I find myself heavily by the natural world and place-based ways of being and knowing. My practice in all forms is constantly trying to critically engage at the periphery, attempting to bring light to silences and centering the margins."
