Von Rydingsvard creates her work from commercially milled cedar beams that are marked, shaped by cuts into the wood, stacked, then glued together; these forms may also be used to cast sculptures in materials
including urethane resin, copper, and bronze.
These
include a number of Chamberlain's series of small sculptures entitled Penthouse, 1969, watercolour and
resin on paper; Stuffed Dog, 1970, in
urethane foam with cord and paint — and Socket, 1978, in painted aluminium.
