Product Information

Eva Rothschild (born Dublin 1971) lives and works in London. Predominantly sculptural, yet highly conceptual, Rothschild’s work is rendered in a varied range of materials including aluminium, jesmonite, leather, wood, tiles and paper. Her work references art movements of the 1960s and 1970s, and is also informed by the aesthetics of protest and spirituality. Rothschild is concerned with the physical experience of sculpture and our relationship with objects and ways of looking. she has a materials based studio practice but also works on major public and outdoor commissions.

It was only a few months ago when I heard this version on a Music 60s TV Channel, Not seeing the screen, I thought, "Wait a minute. What's Helen Reddy doing on a 60s channel?!" The sculpture descends from a single point, diverging into branches which sink into the ground. The shape is inspired by the natural world – it could be the branches of an inverted tree, a river basin, a lightning bolt.

We lie down beneath the tangle of steel branches and the city belongs to us. The sculpture allows us to carve out this new space for ourselves. We don’t just look, we are active within it.’ – Eva RothschildWhy not display children's 'Ourselves' work as an 'All About Me' Display in your classroom?
