Lots of things have been happening over here the last few weeks – from going away for Thanksgiving to getting engaged! Yay! Such a fun month but now, back to blogging Thanks to the ever awesome, Neil, I came upon Sigrid Neuwinger.
I can tell you practically nothing about her or her work as everything I can find on her is in German and the translations aren’t super helpful. What I can find says that she works mostly with found objects. The above is called Spirits.
The above is called Oracle. I’m not sure what it’s made of – bicycle tires?
One writer talks about Sigrid as in the tradition of surrealist, Max Ernst. I can sort of see it. The above looks like a dragon made of ladders.
Fiberglass? Not sure.
Don’t ask. Half of her images are small and the other half – I imagine, newer images, are big like the above! Being in a larger image I can tell that these pieces are all cable tied together. This piece is called tortoiseshell.
The White Woman. I wonder what the scale of this is!
About her own work she says, “by making use of structural properties of the material, I develop flat bicycle tubes and mounts to three-dimensional objects. The everyday objects get a surprising spatial presence of form and gesture, act strange and familiar at the same time and broaden the perspective of the viewer.”
Reminds me of Jordan Taler’s work.
