Ursula von Rydingsvard’s nineteen-foot-tall sculpture URODA, commissioned for the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment, is the artist’s first sculpture made primarily of copper. Her full-sized maquette, created using stacked, texturized cedar beams shaped with a circular saw, took six months to build. The finished piece—made of more than 3,000 painstakingly hand-hammered copper pieces—was fabricated by the metal artist Richard Webber and a team of skilled craftspeople.
