Drawing, Pencil on Paper
Size: 11.4 W x 8.3 H x 0 D in
Krista Berga came to sculpture through drawing. For her, drawing is the conduit to intuition and an almost visceral engagement with the visible. When it is exploratory, drawing activates a deeply entrenched human need for externalising our relationship with all that is outside ourselves. Paleolithic art and the drawings of children testify to this capacity. In a way, drawing is more akin to sculpture than to painting; it has a tactile directness and response to form and surface. Berga’s sensitivity to figurative form flows directly from a drawing practice that relies as much on denying the immediate as it does on seeking an essential dimension of her subject.

Born New Zealand 1970--lives and works Australia--works across sculpture, drawing, painting, text and installation 'In both form and content, Berga's works are acts of transgression and transformation....There is something uncannily open about Berga's palpable and in fact electrifying work, something frank and disarming, bordering on the unguarded, a' salut without return' as Derrida puts it-a gesture of self expression and mortal vulnerability, made as if in insistent wager... as one risking exposure to the other'-DAVID L. CLARK 'Berga examines the elemental forces of sex and death.... Her works are powerful evocations into form of the nature of human beingness and of natural human recourse to formlessness'-ALISON KUBLER Berga is extensively privately collected and curated across Australia and around the world.
