| About the Artist |
Since then she has developed a visual language which is very personal and universal at the same time. Her work seeks to convey the very network which weaves the workings of tne human mind into a collective subconscious, where all identities overlap or merge but when under pressure surface as solid blocks of violent egoistic outbursts.
As an artist she shoulders her responsibility by trying to find the link between the mysterious and the apparent, the unknown and the known, the Godly and the human. As the boundaries tend to blur her work takes on an ineffable quality. |
