A fellow student introduced me a the work of this artist, who works mainly with natural materials. She shared a work called: Samenbeutel, 2009.

My tutor suggested I look at her work to research ideas into Alchemy. In my research of this artist, I learned that her work exists at the interstices of time, alchemy, and natural materials. It can also be seen as an event when these works are made, almost as Pollock’s drip painting technique. She applies […]
