Linol cut, hand-colored, out of sight: fold folder "The other world", title "Teatrum Mundi", sign. and num., Format 100 x 70 cm (to the artist group "Eye: Falter" also belongs to Inka Grebner, see their work). The motif is based on Indonesian shadow play figures and symbolizes long life (turtle) and death (scythe). The clear shape, the economical coloring and the large format are impressive. I became To the sheet in the Grassi Museum Leipzig, Museum of Ethnology and for Applied Arts (there you have a number of interesting work on the subject of turtles, see "Search: Grassi") and immediately contacted the artist. I found it exciting that she was a traditional hike in a rope for three years. In the meantime there is another linear cut from her. Shadow play figures with turtles also occur in Szetschuan (China) and Java (Indonesia), I was able to travel to both countries myself. Additional are smaller objects under "Search: Shadow Play".
