portfolio > inheritance & consequence (installation)

Bilden uses an assortment of inherited items as the springboard for her current body of work. The inherited objects prompted a series of work considering domesticity, identity, and gender roles. The use of common everyday materials encourage viewers to re-imagine the ordinary.

"Cultural and personal ideas of home life are constantly appearing in all that I create and are enhanced by daily tasks and work I am employed to do."
