Inga Hendrickson’s recent work explores corporeal existence and material environment both in and outside of human and more-than-human bodies. Wax, fabrics, water and plastic are some of the materials that the interdisciplinary artist enlists to make her amorphous sculptures.
Sculptures often reminiscent of the body, plant matter or sometimes a hybridity of beings. She considers where boundaries are blurred within and around the edges of things. The inner composition of the body is in constant conversation and reconfiguration with the surrounding environment and other beings. Through bundling and repurposing materials, she explores the intermingling of self with more-than-self as a framework for considering coexistence and reciprocity. Bodies and landscape all parts of a teaming, caressing, churning, absorbing, expelling tumble.
Inga Hendrickson (she/her) is an interdisciplinary artist exploring corporeal existence, human connection and the material environment both in and outside of the body. Her recent work uses dyed fabric, beeswax, plastics, dirt and water as part of a set of materials with which to make amorphous soft sculptures. She enlists color, gravity, tension and precarity to bring an abject dynamism to the forms. Inga studied photography at Parsons School of Design and holds an MFA in Studio Art program from Maryland Institute College of Art. She lives and works in Santa Fe, NM, land still recognized as O’ga Po’geh (White Shell Water Place) with her partner and two children.
