Rebecca Ackroyd, a UK-based artist born in 1987, engages intensely with the discipline of sculpture. Her work deconstructs the processes of sculpture and drawing, juxtaposing the freedom of the latter with the structured nature of the former. Ackroyd's sculptures, often large, raw figures crafted from materials like chicken wire and plaster bandage, confront viewers with their bold forms and imposing presence. Her art straddles the line between abstraction and figuration, creating spaces where the overtly feminine meets abstract architecture, prompting viewers to navigate a complex interplay of narratives and forms.
