About the artist:
Ursula von Rydingsvard
Rydingsvard has been working as a sculptor in Brooklyn, New York for the past 30 years. She received her MFA from Columbia University in 1975, and is best known for creating large, often monumental sculptures from cedar beams. Her abstract shapes reference both real world objects and natural forms and forces, and are meant to reveal the mark of the human hand in society.
