Ehalill Halliste and Helle Videvik “Arrived from the Sea, Born from the Fire”

Videvik’s inspiration comes from natural forms and phenomena. Over the last years she has been also expressing her views on climate problems. She does not copy nature, but creates a meditation and an experience based on emotions using various forms, textures and glazes. The works depicting stones, water and sand have a clear and monumental effect.

The exhibition has been designed by Madis Liplap.
