Nahom Ghebredngl (b. 2000) is an Eritrean American sculptor and installation artist. 
His work centers on leveraging failure and tactility, and creating interfaces for exploring the interpersonal and embodied.
 
Through examining the detritus of industrialized society, Ghebredngl draws parallels to the way our bodies create and expel waste. 
Through simulating processes of accumulation and consumption, he highlights the way these methods exist in uneasy paradox, growth as a result of destruction, and destruction as a result of growth. 
Through this, he builds environments that contradict themselves, synthetic plastic worlds stitched into misshapen natural forms. 
 
By integrating found objects into figures, plaster and paper become skin with the ability to both erode and calcify, cardboard and scrap wood serve as skeletal systems with the traces of his studio practice appearing in the posture and surface of sculptures and drawings. 
 
Ghebedngl’s accumulated objects ask viewers to explore fracturing, exhaustion, and survival as reflections of daily life.
 
Nahom ​lives and works in Providence, RI, where he is pursuing an MFA in sculpture at the Rhode Island School of Design.
