Dec 10 Artist Spotlight - Gunilla Daga

Biography

“My art is about existence; life. Being a human, a woman. On the Swedish west coast, I had a studio. Close to the window, there was this reed. They were leaning towards me, waving in the wind, telling me secrets and showing me their hidden rooms. Spaces in between! Each Image I make is born from the previous, in an interaction between life and the material… to see through the surface in between heaven and earth.”
