Rochelle Goldberg, (b. 1984; Vancouver, Canada) lives and works in New York. In her all encompassing installations Rochelle stages sculptural topographies composed of living, ephemeral, and synthetic materials, such as crude oil and chia seeds, in combination with ceramic and steel. The combination of the two challenges the fixity of the art object. With the subject matter inspired by references to art history and philosophy, Rochelle’s ceramic works become a playful studied reflection that seamlessly switch between such vast narratives and inquiries into the politics of visual and tactile perception.
