Nahom Ghebredngl (b. 2000) is an Eritrean American sculptor and installation artist. 
His work centers on leveraging accumulation to explore the interpersonal and embodied.
 
Through simulating processes of accumulation, he builds environments that seem to contradict themselves. Made by hand, he piles up 'synthetic' gestures. With a sufficient number, these marks congeal to imitate natural processes. From here, he begins to examine how what we think of as natural is only ever a vast accumulation of small gestures. 
 
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 and installations ask viewers to explore fracturing, exhaustion, and survival as reflections of daily life. And to consider how a long view of history and nature offers us a connection to our ancestors and collapsing environment.
 
Nahom ​lives and works in Providence, RI, where he is pursuing an MFA in sculpture at the Rhode Island School of Design.
