Meet RCA Sculpture student: Theresa Weber

Описание: Theresa Weber studies MA Sculpture at the Royal College of Art.

Theresa graduated from the Düsseldorf Kunstakademie in 2021 and is now based in London. She develops conceptual multi-media installations while critically examining concepts of race and class. Her work suggests a wider understanding of being as becoming and claims that her identity and all hybrid identities can be understood as a network – fluid and unfixed. Through developing collaged arrangements of cultural material which are woven together and sometimes poured into resin, her practice examines cultural embodiment and femininity. She deals with the constant re-invention within creolisation with a link to chaos-theory. Weber's practice creates traces that seem intuitive, fragile and ambivalent, while seeking radical pluralism.

This year, Theresa Weber has been commissioned to produce an installation responding to the architecture of Somerset House. 'Cycles of Unmasking' explores non-hierarchical relationships between histories and narratives in this new installation. The work, sponsored by Morgan Stanley, is currently on display at the stairwell of the Stamp Stairs of the South Wing from May - November 2023. She was also selected as part of Bloomberg New Contemporaries in 2022.
