“I imagined water in perpetual motion. Covering a globe, then becoming a circle and navigating an obstacle (as we do) then continuing (as we do). I find the shape very satisfying to look at and to touch.”
Tebbenhoff’s work represents the physical expression of a highly personal cosmology, a sustained meditation into the ways in which sculptural form might be made to evoke a yearning for our supernatural bearings. Above all, she seeks to trigger a sense of recognition in the viewer through an appeal to a universal idea of beauty. She is working at a moment when many contemporary artists seem hypnotized by the allure of commodities and this lends her abstract sculpture a deeper poetic resonance beyond the trivialities of everyday experience.
