"...
In hours spent in front of a canvas, she overloads the surface with an
abundance of brushstrokes, gestures, scriptures, and more, multiplying
layers seemingly without end. There is no need to impose a message. The
painting is produced in the gesture, in the process of layering, a
physical act in which body and mind are one. They know -- they are a
repository of knowledge and technique. They produce naturally the
essential things, earth and light within the space of a painting." Marjetica Potrc
