In the eye of the beholder: Ursula Von Rydingsvard

Here's my very good friend Melissa Robelo Salazar on German sculptor Ursula Von Rydingsvard, one of her personal favorites:

Ursula's work is very organic and gestural. Her manipulation of the material and form give the sculptures an emotional aesthetic.



Each sculpture seems to have its own history... its own story, and she achieves this by manipulating the cedar to create texture and form.



At glance you wonder if these were not part of some natural landscape? But then you realize they're not... They're the result of an arduous artistic process.
