ABOUT THE ARTIST
Monika Pascoe Mikyšková (* 1983) works with monumental watercolour painting and plant-based or "mineral" objects. Her current installations resemble herbarium prints, moldings and casts combined with indoor plants. The questions of human corporeality and emotional experience interfere with the inhuman time of plants - caught and exposed, embedded in the botanical collection or artificially fossilized by decorative intervention. Sophisticated sculptural approach alternates with the intuitive accumulation of natural tissues.
