| Eva Hertz |
| |
|
born 1979
Wolverhampton, England.
Eva (real name Krystyna Curtis) had a lovely upbringing, despite living in Wolverhampton; a hinterland full of biological oddities (the locals).
As a child she was spellbound by books and films about the fantastically beautiful, yet melancholy or frightening.
She enjoyed the way the empathic elements would tear at her heart strings, and revelled in scaring herself silly with folktale horror & ghost stories.
It hit her hard when she grew older and found out that this dreamlike world didn't exist. She was saddened by the thought of all the people out there who had been forced into forgetting such magical things, or never known them at all, simply by living in the 'real' world.
With this in mind, Eva resolved to create a world of her own.
Through mixed media artwork, music and writing, she hopes to become a catalyst for others to find magic within themselves, whatever form it may take.
She refuses, point blank, to grow up.

| About the Artist |
"I am fascinated with the juxtaposition of beauty and terror, and it seems you can find great examples of this in rural folk & fairy tales. Most recently I've been using imagery derived from these stories & Czech animation to get ideas for a folktale I'm planning to write. Eerie Icelandic/Japanese music has pretty much been my staple listening pleasure in the last few months.
The illustrations I am currently working on are a series depicting character & scene ideas for my folktale. Using sewing and other assorted media to make kinetic dioramas of some of the scenes, I hope to photograph these as the book's illustrations and, *fingers crossed*, exhibit all this somewhere..."
Inspired by:
"Music/art/film by people such as Bjork, Yuriy Norshteyn, Jan Svankmajer, Gabríela Friðriksdóttir, Lauri Faggioni, Akino Kondoh, and Suehiro Maruo, amongst others." |
