Cornelia Konrads

Conrelia Konrad is a freelance artist and sculptor. She didn't start as a sculptor, she studied philosophy, as well as the German language and culture. She used her knowledge and studies and found her way into the world of art and sculpture.
Konrad works with lot of book art. She uses a lot of her German influence in her book work. Her main work centers around her on site sculptures. She does a lot of stone structure that have a dream like quality to them.
These are one of her site specific sculptures. The structures seem to float away from themselves into the sky seeming like they will never stop floating. I'm curious if she created the entire structure or if she found an existing structure and altered it to act in this way. I think the site in which that it is placed is very well with the pathway and the trees.




This is one of her book art pieces. I can't exactly tell how the book is altered. It looks like it's spiked out so that they are prickled paper structures on the surface of the paper. I like this piece, I feel like it sends a messaged of the danger of knowledge at times, or at least that's what I get from it.
