Liesbeth Henderickx

Liesbeth Henderickx (°1991, BE) lives and works in Ghent. Her practice is grounded in sculpture—a medium through which she examines how built environments, with their forms, materials, gestures, and representations, shape our daily lives. Through the careful translation and interplay of materials at different scales and textures, her sculptural work seeks to illuminate the relationships between space and architecture, object and body.

Each material she engages with opens up new ways of working—intuitive, tactile, and deeply embodied. The making process becomes a quiet choreography, a form of material thinking, with its gestures and decisions still legible in the final work.

• Fobrux

To Shed Away consists of sculpted imprints of the ornamented stairs leading to the first floor of Fobrux, whereas Molted Dwelling I and II are made out of dust retrieved from washing machines. Both play with the notion of ‘skin’ to bring various absent bodies back into the picture of the factory, and hint at a silent domesticity, whether by hanging the laundry or just hanging out.
