Artist Statement 

Lindsey Machado is a contemporary artist, metalsmith, and educator based in San Francisco, California. Drawing from the Arts and Crafts movement and traditions of material storytelling, her practice explores themes of home, belonging, and connection through sculpture, metalwork, jewelry, furniture, and functional objects. Blurring the boundaries between art, craft, and design, Machado creates whimsical and surreal forms that merge function and fantasy, transforming everyday objects into poetic encounters with place, memory, and wonder.
