Ursula von Rydingsvard
The Contour of Feeling
This publication documents Ursula von Rydingsvard’s exhibition at The Fabric Workshop and Museum in Philadelphia, which features a large new leather work produced with the museum’s studio. The survey — guest curated by Mark Rosenthal — largely focuses on her artistic development since 2000 and reveals her predilection for emotionally-charged, visceral art that is handwrought, richly complex, and monumentally scaled.
description
Ursula von Rydingsvard is best known for her large-scale works and signature use of cedarwood, which evokes the grandeur and power of nature. Her sculptures’ abstract shapes reference the mark of the human hand —evidence of the artist’s meticulous process of cutting, shaping, and assembling her works from thousands of cedar blocks. "The Contour of Feeling" debuts a new sculpture created in collaboration with The Fabric Workshop and Museum. Constructed from leather — a first for the artist — the new material represents an expansion for von Rydingsvard’s practice.
