Ulrike uses a variety of materials and techniques to create her unique portraits. She works with heavy materials like concrete and metal, but also surprising found objects like fungus, railroad ties, toys, and heavy machinery parts. Her artworks are figurative, typically in the form of a bust but sometimes the artist expands on the human form. The beings Ulrike creates feel present in the space, they’re not merely representations. Her figures are ghostly, loaded with other-worldly qualities that leave the viewer wondering from where they came.
