“My sketchbook is a physical form of my thoughts, my aquifer of ideas and meditations of the world as I experience and learn from it. It is where my psychological truth takes form and manifests. Abstract forms are fascinating because they are not familiar to us and therefore when presented or seen we have to accept them.”
In this project Sara Skorgan Teigen investigate emotions wich do not have a physical shape. She use familiar and unfamiliar forms and patterns in nature; micro cosmos, water, skin and hair are used to investigate their physical and psychological expressions.
Printing and drawing on and with my own body gives her the experience of edges between the objective and the mental world.
