Sculpture of Marie Bergstedt by Marie Bergstedt

With my current work I am reconstructing memories from my childhood. I
build sculptures using deconstructed, torn, and degenerating antique pieces combined with new fiber, wire, and button work. The old and new unite to interpret the past in a contemporary art form. My pieces often convey a visual/mental dissonance which has been a fundamental element of my life experience. I believe my artwork is most successful when this discord evokes viewers to revisit their own history and prevailing impressions of what they have encountered or witnessed.
