Tactile vision

Albina Appias is a Lithuanian artist who creates experimental depictions of animals and natural forms through an assemblage of unusual patterns.

Albina starts her pieces by collecting textures from the natural and man-made world, through the use of carbon-copy paper thermal transferring, which she then arranges on paper and supplements with graphite detail.

The result: pelicans consisting of leaves, moths of bubble wrap, hot magnolias imprinted with pine needles. It’s in this exploratory approach that Albina gives familiar natural images a new edge and provides the viewer with a space for interpretation.

Artist Talk will be moderated by Mahendra Mahey.
