Description: Her sculptural works mimic a formal language found in historical marble sculpture, but they are executed in aerated concrete, a material primarily employed in the construction industry. The blending of industrial material with refined craftsmanship creates a unique contrast that is both sensitive and monumental. Sif Itona Westerberg leans on historical traditions in the way she chisels her sculptures. But because she uses a modern material, her art is never stale or stagnant. Instead, she creates a vibrant expression which manages to look both backwards and forwards in time, says Jakob Vengberg Sevel, curator-in-charge, ARoS. -- (from publisher)
