Marlo Lyda is an Australian-born designer-maker and curator based in the Powerhouse Creative Residencies on Gadigal Country, Sydney. Coaxing delicate yet functional objects from rarely considered resources, Lyda’s work provokes a reassessment of the intrinsic value embedded in overlooked ‘waste’ materials. Lyda's deep-rooted commitment to celebrating the inherent beauty of makers and materials extends beyond her own creations to the exhibitions she curates, embodying a harmonious blend of creativity, resourcefulness, and community leadership.
