and the sun

“I was looking for whiteness with the highest possible level of blackness.
After hope to the brink of tears
After joy to a point of deepest despair.”

Odysseus Elytis

“I move between two- and three-dimensional form.
Transparent materials, layers, fictional and real spaces.
With the sculptor's means, materials, volume and
surrounding space, I want to explore abstraction – in different
meanings – in relation to the physical location of the work.”

Maria Koolen Hellmin
