Daniella Algarate creates metal sculptures that explore the relationship between material transformation and the passage of time. Rooted in topographical forms and elemental change, her practice embraces natural processes—oxidation, patina, and atmospheric wear—as collaborators in shaping the final work. These materials are not fixed but alive, shifting subtly as they interact with their environment.

Her sculptures often resemble artifacts of the forest floor: textured, intimate objects that feel discovered rather than made. In Glade, Algarate’s works speak to the quiet power of impermanence, inviting viewers into a slow, thoughtful engagement with surface, memory, and environmental change. Through this delicate interplay of form and process, her pieces become meditations on what it means to endure, to transform, and to belong to a place over time.
