Praised by the Wall Street Journal as "Frankensteinian" for her inventive approach, Stockholder's works also encompass unique paper creations. With meticulous craftsmanship, she arranges these materials into captivating compositions that invite viewers to engage with the tangible world around them. Through carefully choreographed arrangements, Stockholder endeavors to demystify the complexities of the material realm, presenting it in a manner that is both accessible and visually compelling. Her creations pulsate with vibrant hues and textures, often coated in glossy, plasticky finishes, reminiscent of Robert Rauschenberg's pioneering assemblage sculptures. Yet, Stockholder infuses her works with a distinct identity, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary through her bold and imaginative reinterpretation of everyday objects.
