Trained in the art of metalsmithing, Fensterstock crafts sculptures and expansive installations that demand substantial labor and exude an irresistible material allure. Employing techniques deeply rooted in the realms of craftsmanship and decorative arts, often historically associated with “women’s arts,” she adeptly wields practices such as paper cutting, quilling, mosaic work, and shellwork. Initially, Fensterstock’s artistic endeavors revolved around dialogues concerning embellishment, aesthetics, preciousness, and transience. Over time, these concepts evolved, culminating in her recent works, which, as the artist herself explains, “delve into the narratives we construct to find significance in nature and the landscapes we devise to establish our place in the world.”
