Lydia Ricci

Lydia Ricci is a sculptor that makes imperfectly perfect replicas of quotidian moments and objects from a pile of scraps and everyday detritus accumulated over the last 30 years. She is a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University and also studied design in St Gallen, Switzerland and printmaking in Cortona, Italy.

She teaches classes in design and storytelling at The University of the Arts. Her sculptures have been exhibited in galleries in New York, San Francisco, Marfa, Boston, Philadelphia, and featured in publications including The Guardian, The Huffington Post, and Vice. Her animations have been included in The San Francisco, Mill Valley and Philadelphia Film Festivals.
