The Holy Road

Duncker Maria

Hymns came out when the artist was teaching herself to play the harmonium in a freely improvisational way around millennium. And they still come. Other things that she has done for a long time are sewing 'multi-national costumes' out of plastic bags and experimenting with camera obscura.
