Lydia Marshall
Lydia Marshall (b. 2002) is a Manchester based artist. Recently awarded with the 2025-26 Haworth Trust Scholarship and previously the Manchester School of Art Studio bursary at Paradise Works.
Marshall works within a process led sculptural/installation based practice. Often centred around function, process, systems and material perceptibility to create bodies of work that react to these systems and processes that they are embedded in. Working with commonly found and recognisable materials she attempts to interrogate our usual familiarisation of objects/material evoking knowledge, fondness or memory affiliated with them in order to provoke questioning of ideas surrounding them in new contexts speaking on new ideas. She attempts to work within the ‘truth’ of materials. Everything seen is a true product of its process.
