ALEXANDRA BIRCKEN

I am interested in this artist's work very much because of the beautuful details. She gave the used or dumped stuff a new life in those installations.
Bircken creates assemblages featuring everyday ephemera like wood, knitted fragments, concrete, cloth, wax, screws, wire & steel.Her work has strong references to traditional craft practices and to the natural world, from which she sources her materials.She studied at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London.
Alexandra Bircken’s unmonumental stretcher frame sculptures are informed by her background in fashion design and interest in the radical aspects of handmade culture. A fragmentary array of irregular objects and organic shapes, often coloured by the artist, is hung and displayed on strings and aluminium rods.
