Ursula von Rydingsvard
The Cooper Union
Ursula von Rydingsvard is a sculptor based in Brooklyn. As noted by Galerie
Lelong, the meaning behind her work is rooted in personal experience. “She
creates large-scale sculpture from cedar beams which she cuts, assembles,
and laminates, finally rubbing powdered graphite into the work’s textured,
faceted surfaces. The artist’s respect for organic materials and the dignity of
labor, sense of loss and pain, and the persistent memories that inform her
work may be traced back to these formative experiences.”
