The Embodied Self

“The Embodied Self” will showcase mixed media sculptures representing universal experiences relevant to the human condition.

"The Embodied Self" will showcase a series of mixed media sculptures representing universal experiences relevant to the human condition, such as emotional awareness and the unfolding of the human consciousness. The sculptures in this series act as an allegory of the human spirit embodying perseverance and strength that also question what it means to embody “wholeness” emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually.

Sinéad Ludwig-Burgess (BFA ’16, Sculpture) works and resides in Calgary, AB, predominantly creating sculptures that consist of welded steel and mixed media. The majority of Ludwig-Burgess’ art in her portfolio incorporates scrap metal and recycled materials, and she enjoys repurposing these items to make environmentally conscious sculptures. Sinéad is interested in creating works that reference the human body and continues to follow her passion for exploring the limitless potential of metal.
