Alexandra Bircken - Paperback

by Alexandra Bircken (Artist), Anna Grande (Text by (Art/Photo Books)), Florian Forestbild (Text by (Art/Photo Books))

Alexandra Bircken's sculptures and installations consist of knitted-together bits of wood, branches, stone, metal, dried plants and leather. Her interest in the preciousness and abjection of fashion and flower arrangement synthesizes a homely, therapeutic, arts-and-crafts aesthetic to create amuletlike objects that border on the spiritual, if not the occult.
