Eva Hild


Eva Hild works in clay in a large sculptural scale. Eva’s influence in her work is influence. Her current hand built clay forms show the pressure and strain. These delicate and continuously flowing forms are made with thinly built white clay. The size of the sculptures relate to the size of the body. The thin walls are pulled and bent in different directions to reflect varying degrees of external and internal pressures, and how, as a consequence, perception of inner and outer space is changed or challenged. Her inspiration comes from life itself. She tries to relate her work to her life. With the different pressures, strains, flows and ramifications that may influence how one feels at any given point in time throughout life. With the ins and outs of life’s path so too does the path that Eva sculptures take. You want to be able to look around the next corner in her sculpture and see what lies ahead but not know until you get there, always finding something different around each corner.
