Her sculptures, videos, and paintings depict ritualized
feedings created for animals who live on the frontiers
of human civilization such as raccoons, possums, and
foxes as well as our close companion species like
horses and dogs. The animals assert their presence and
desires as the work theorizes about the Anthropocene,
the current geological epoch in which human activity
has caused substantial, irreversible damage to the
natural world. Since graduating from the University of
Maine in 2004, Sherwood has exhibited throughout
the Americas, Europe and Australia including solo
exhibitions at Nagle-Draxler Reiseburogalerie (Cologne),
Denny Dimin Gallery (New York) and Kepler Art-Conseil
(Paris). Her work has also been shown at Storm King
(New York), The Fellbach Sculpture Triennial (Germany),
Pink Summer Gallery (Italy), Kunsthal Aarhus (Denmark),
The Palais des Beaux Arts Paris (France), Socrates
Sculpture Park (New York), Flux Factory (New York), The
Biennial of Western New York, Prospect 2: New Orleans,
Scotia Bank Nuit Blanche (Toronto), dOCUMENTA 13,
and many other venues worldwide. She will have her
first solo museum exhibition at the Florence Griswold
Museum in 2022.
