Eva Rothschild's sculptures derive from the abstraction of different visual codes and imagery. Her iconography is informed by contemporary culture – music, film, literature – and by religion.

She is particularly interested in the way objects have a power over us, especially in relation to religious thought and superstition. This is reflected in her fascination with sacred or lucky symbols, ranging from spheres and pyramids to new age charms. In this way, competing influences are combined to create hybrid forms that explore how meaning is ascribed to things.
