PADA Studios Artists-in-residence Erika Trotzig.

Erika Trotzig (b.1971) is a Swedish artist based in London.

Her practice is mainly sculptural; the works are humorous, un-heroic, un-monumental and absurd. She uses instability and collapse as working methods in an attempt to access an aesthetic of failure; through improbable meetings of material and construction methods she investigates structures of power and perceived gender roles. Pieces are often provisional and reworked, assembled from a mixture of mostly found materials, materials without memory but full of metaphorical resonances.

PADA is an Art Residency & Gallery based in a post-industrial site near Lisbon, Portugal.
