Stockholder’s is an art that focuses on connection and adaptation. Her exuberant, site-specific installations are constructed from both used materials and brand-new objects brought together in assemblages that recall Robert Rauchenberg’s ‘combines’. Often, only minimal means are used to hold together a huge array of disparate material that ranges from truck covers to shoelaces and refrigerators; paint is then generously applied to these assemblages, democratically forming a skin that unites the piece’s various elements and textures.

Marrying the sumptuous palette of Henri Matisse with the carpentry of Gordon Matta Clark, Stockholder creates installations that offer multiple vantage points and impressions; it is as if she is extending a painting’s interior into the space and inviting the viewer to enter into the frame.
