"Lyss 0002"

As a musician and songwriter, I learned early on that what you play doesn’t really matter as much as what you don’t play. The beauty of music lies not in the notes, but in the spaces between the notes. Approaching song writing from the perspective of a painter, starting with a blank canvas and adding to it until you achieve the results that you desire, is usually not as effective as approaching it from the perspective of a sculptor; intentionally removing the noise and propagating the voids to eventually create the rhythms and melodies that we find so enjoyable. Life can be seen in the same manner; losses or voids in life do not need to be viewed as negative experiences. Losses shape us just as much as accumulations and although it can be difficult, appreciating these loses for the rhythms and melodies that they create in our lives can open you up to see the beauty in the emptiness, in the spaces in-between.

Our Lyss sculptures are created by loss. They are full of voids and have just as much emptiness as substance. They get their name from someone whom lives this concept by example. Someone who lives life with so much insight, appreciation, and intention, that she has become an integral part in feeding our inspiration and degrading our insecurities.

We hope that our Lyss pieces remind you that there is beauty in emptiness. That in learning to let go, accept, and even appreciate our losses, we can open ourselves to new experiences and insights that we may have never imagined. Embracing the voids in our experiences can open us up to life, and living with intention… it can show us how to live more and regret less.
