Work Creator notes (display):
German sculptor, painter and installation artist, active in Wales. She studied Fine Art at Goldsmiths' College, London (198790), before going on to study for an MA in Sculpture at Chelsea College of Art and Design, London (19912). Her work in the mid-1990s focused on modelling small three-dimensional recreations of paintings by German Romantic artists such as Caspar David Friedrich, contained in glass tanks which were filled with saline solution and dye to reproduce the dramatic sunsets and skies. Neudecker accentuated the kitsch fantasy of these landscapes, making the imagined mountains and hills 'real' as objects, albeit in miniature form. The Sea of Ice 1997; Eastbourne, Towner A.G. & Local Hist. Mus.) is typical of these works. The associations with German history, and in particular with Hitler's appropriation of Romanticism, forms a cultural backdrop to these landscapes that unsettles the innocent, childlike imagery. Maps are another important motif in Neudecker's exploration of the ways in which cultural identity is affected by personal conceptions of geography and history. In an ongoing project initiated in 1996, Never Eat Shredded Wheat (see 1999 exh. cat., pp. 245), Neudecker asked people of various ages and nationalities to draw a map of the world from memory. She then transcribed the maps, displaying them along with the author's age, gender and nationality, as yet another series of private, imaginary worlds. In the late 1990s, Neudecker used digital technology to project computerized landscapes as if they were on a globe, again generating a three-dimensional 'reality' from a flat image, as in Deluge I & II (1998; see 1999 exh. cat., pp. 489).
