All Eyes On: Cydney M. Lewis

Statement

Cydney M Lewis, is a Chicago based artist  Through the transformation and manipulation of materials, I consider the intersection of the natural, spiritual, and physical worlds that reflect on our consumer society. Walking the streets of my community, I saw needles, synthetic hair, and colorful plastic bags gathering on the ground and blowing in the trees.  This landscape is full of meaning – these are artifacts that reflect all the things we consume and waste without thinking of the consequences. Amongst the debris there is also nature’s beauty, perseverance and the ability to adapt within this landscape; through my work, I ask how we as humans might also coexist in harmony.
