Sonja Edle von Hoeßle

In Sonja Edle von Hoeßle’s sculptures, idea and form, construction and emotion, material and transparency merge. Using steel blocks, she creates lines of movement in space, a rhythmic sequence of circular segments that expand and converge. They invite the viewer to move, to walk around the sculpture, and to grasp its dynamics from different perspectives. Through her conceptual work on small models, the artist explores the limits of statics and rediscovers equilibrium. In their verticality, they seem to detach themselves from the ground, to float, to dance, to play with their shadows. The artist transforms the heavy and difficult-to-shape material into light, serene forms.
