Book Synopsis
The sculptor Alexandra Hendrikoff has created an impressive and innovative artistic language, which is based on and inspired by nature. Her sculptures resemble cocoons, living organisms and other forms and figures found in nature. This monograph presents images of her sculptures for the first time. Two complementary essays introduce her work.

In order to create her often freestanding or floating works of art and collages, Hendrikoff uses natural materials such as yarn, wood and seeds. Her sculptures examine the language of nature and thus challenge our technologised and alienated world view. Her works are to be understood as prototypes of life and are produced with great artisanal skills and patience. Alexandra Hendrikoff was born in Bavaria in 1965. She trained as a carpenter before studying sculpture at the Akademie der Kunste (Academy of Fine Arts) in Munich. Her works are exhibited internationally, and in 2011 she was artist in residence at the Escola de Artes Visuais in Rio de Janeiro.
