Von Rydingsvard<BR>lived in eight different refugee camps for Poles in Germany over the course of five years following World War II, and her homelike artifacts—now transformed to a magical and mysterious scale—connote nostalgia as well as homelessness and displacement. Such objects can remind the viewer of the comforts of home while quietly suggesting a craving for something that never was.
