states of becoming

A densely textured mixed-media work by acclaimed sculptor Ursula von Rydingsvard, composed of thousands of small fragmented, multi-colored paper or ceramic shards accumulated on a white paper ground, creating an intensely tactile and visually dynamic surface. The composition transitions from a finer, more dispersed scatter at the top to a dense, layered accumulation of colorful fragments in the lower half, evoking themes of transformation and materiality. Presented in a deep white shadow-box frame behind glass, the work is part of von Rydingsvard's exhibition 'states of becoming.' This piece exemplifies the artist's obsessive engagement with material, repetition, and labor-intensive process.

Medium: Mixed media on paper (shredded/fragmented ceramic or painted paper fragments, collage on paper)
