Raudenbush, a New York-based, Burning Man-bred artist, connects deeply with environmental issues and the potential perils of humanity’s evolution. She is a creator of monolithic, immersive, and allegorical sculpture works that catalyze social engagement and shift consciousness while exploring themes ranging from technological sustainability to creation myth, and from self-empowerment to environmental awareness. She synthesizes materials such as structural steel, wood, mirror, and LED light programing to construct her concepts 

 

As a self-taught sculpture artist, the power of her work lies in its ability to raise awareness of important social and environmental concerns without compromising beauty and aesthetics. As the longest running solo female artist at Burning Man, Raudenbush created the first Burning Man sculpture to be collected for the permanent collection in a U.S. museum in 2007.

 

Raudenbush’s works and words have been exhibited and published in art museums from the Renwick Gallery Smithsonian Museum in Washington, DC, to the Hangaram Art Museum in Seoul, South Korea—as well as international art fairs from Miami to the Hamptons. Her art has been featured in festivals in Amsterdam, Las Vegas, Santiago, Montreal, San Francisco, New York City, and in the creative vanguard of many epic, fiery gatherings at Burning Man.

 

“Creativity expands consciousness and creates the cultural identity of our communities. It is the highest mark of any civilization. What we create is who we are,” said Raudenbush.
