Eva Rothschild's sculptures combine processes of delicate balancing, stacking, entwining, wrapping and knotting around precise hard-edged geometric structures, as well as implying organic forms such as trees or twigs. Often visually reminiscent of minimalist sculpture, the formal clarity of Eva Rothschild's work is disrupted by the colour and use of materials that hold specific associations, such as leather fringing, posters, perspex, crystal balls and incense.
