Aldridge incorporates a vast range of materials into a sculptural practice she describes as an expanded form of collage. With an emphasis on the intuitive process of making, her works address the double-bind of subjectivity versus objectivity and viewing versus participating. Notions of finality and display are detabilised through objects that invoke the impulse to touch. This is the intersection at which Aldridge allows the intuitive and the sensory to unfold.

Aldridge has curated an exhibition of her own sculptures alongside works by Leanne Ross and Judith Scott to take place at Koppe Astner in April 2021. Recent solo exhibitions include: No Math Method, Curfew, Edinburgh (2019); What Noise is Garden?, Peles Empire, Berlin (2018); Go Woman Go!, British Council UK/NG, Abuja, Nigeria (2017); Inside all my activities, Koppe Astner, Glasgow (2016); One-to-another, One-to-one, Passerelle Centre D’Art Contemporain, Brest, France (2015); California wow! Tramway, Glasgow (2015). Recent group exhibitions include: I am a Dependent Object, Biennale of Contemporary Art Drno, Czech Republic (2019); Perceptions, National Museum, Montenegro; Gallery of Matica Srpska; National Gallery, Kosovo; Museum of Contemporary Art of Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina; Museum of Contemporary Art of Macedonia, Macedonia (2019).

Cardenas’ landscapes are painted from an impossible point of view - distant and near, alive and static, timeless and elusive. Rich depictions of flora and fauna are the backdrop of a stage upon which geometric archeological objects lie, a metaphysical reinterpretation of our familiar world. The figures that inhabit this world have human, animal and fantastical features, conveying the mimetic elements implicit in our fascination with a primal understanding of the world.

Cardenas will have a solo exhibition at Koppe Astner in 2021. Recent solo exhibitions include: CONDO, Koppe Astner at Metro Pictures, New York (2019); Oasis, La Balsa Medellín, Medellín (2018); Metamorfosis, La Balsa Arte, Bogotá (2017); Arqueologías del Futuro, Liberia Central Contemporánea, Bogotá (2016); El Museo Imaginario, LA Galería, Bogotá (2016). Recent group exhibitions include: Totems and Trophys, Proxyco, New York (2018); Obelisco 2018, SN Macarena, Bogotá (2018); Mutatis Mutandis, Cámara de Comercio de Bogotá, Sede Chapinero, Bogotá (2017); Fourth of All, Gericke Paffrath, Düsseldorf (2017).
