ABOUT
Silke Riis (she/her) is a Copenhagen-born sculptor and installation artist whose work currently revolves around speculative futures and imagined species.

Inspired by rainforest plants, fungi and marine invertebrates, as well as mythologies and science fiction, her work often has an otherworldly aesthetic.
She is currently based in The Hague, The Netherlands.
