AVAILABLE DRAWINGS BY MONIKA WEISS
Experiencing the work of Monika Weiss involves all your senses to some degree. One can not simply walk past the "Skulenie" (2003), an enigmatic charcoal drawing on photographic backdrop paper, without feeling the essence of the artist's presence, or hearing the echoes of physical form resonating in Weiss' drawings, sculpture installations, live or video projected performative works.
