states of becoming
A monumental wall-mounted relief sculpture by Ursula von Rydingsvard, composed of densely packed, hand-carved cedar wood forms that create a richly textured, organic surface with deep shadows and warm brown tones accented with graphite. The work exemplifies von Rydingsvard's signature technique of laminating and carving cedar beams into biomorphic, geological formations that evoke both natural landscape and the human body. Presented as part of her solo exhibition 'states of becoming,' this large-scale piece showcases the artist's commanding mastery of wood as a sculptural medium. A significant acquisition from a major institutional exhibition, underscoring the work's museum-level importance and collectability.
