Ursula von Rydingsvard in "Ecology" - Season 4 - "Art in the Twenty-First Century" | Art21

Art21 proudly presents an artist segment, featuring Ursula Von Rydingsvard, from the "Ecology" episode in Season 4 of the "Art in the Twenty-First Century" series.
"Ecology" premiered in November 2007 on PBS.
Von Rydingsvard’s studio is filled with massive cedar sculptures, which she painstakingly constructs layer by layer. The end result is a complex and unpredictable surface for viewers to explore and experience.
Ursula von Rydingsvard was born in Deensen, Germany, in 1942. Learn more about the artist at: art21.org/artist/ursula-von-r...

The piece she stood in could be a tomb encasing a mummy or a desicated corpse, aged within the wood. Fine documentary. Love her work .

Trabajo muy interesante. Se sumergió en la estructura de la madera. Un trabajo noble y arcaico

Give your cutters a bench. As an carpenter disabled with a bad spine that working on the ground should be a lawsuit. Angle grinder would do a better job anyway.

Can we just say the term "rock" out loud. Beautiful wooden rocks.
