DREAMING THE FUTURE

ellyp artworks

In front of the vat, with the pulp floating in water, I move into new landscapes, outside my references. It sharpens my attention and my curiosity.

I AM THE CROW

Artworks from my last visit to Awagami factory March 2020   I am the crow. I have been circling around for days. Under me I see Mother Earth. She is constantly changing.

Med jevnlige referanser til kunsten, fra Mark Rothko til avslutningsvideoen der bilder og jazz gikk opp i en vakker helhet, …
