Erica Rosenfeld
American
Erica Rosenfeld’s work celebrates community-centric, obsessive, labor-intensive ritual and embraces the cultural histories of glassmaking and crafting. Her work reflects her need to both gather and order. Over the past ten years she has collected tens of thousands of objects and set to order them in her studio, which she calls her Eden. The resulting pieces are accumulations of multiples - Cloud sculptures and encapsulated Forests – which tell of places full of secrets, enchantment and magic. They are like glimpses from dreams where dangerous and wholesome, calm and wild and beautiful exist simultaneously.
Her hybrid practice also includes performative, sculptural and social aspects of glass and food making. She is the co-founder of the performance collective Burnt Asphalt Family with whom she has appeared throughout the United States.
