Theda Sandiford
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Theda Sandiford is a mixed-media and installation artist who lives and works in Jersey City, New Jersey.[1][2][3]
Sandiford's sculptural work often utilizes found or recycled materials to make cultural commentary.[2][4] Sandiford repurposes everyday materials including shopping carts, reusable shopping bag, and post-consumer waste in her sculptures.[4][5][6] Sandiford takes lived experiences and engrains those into her work including experiences of microaggressions she's encountered as a marginalized person.[2][7][8] Sandiford's work engages and investigates the sense of touch, reflecting on the artist's own experience of touch, including having her hair frequently touched without permission.[2][9]
