Bare Souls

Elena Jäger (DE)

This work was created in the context of the artist’s struggle with the problem of having unrealistically high expectations of the perfection of her artworks.

To counteract this, she has chosen techniques for Bare Souls that she has had to learn and therefore has not yet mastered perfectly (pottery, drawing and, for the first time, 3D modelling and painting). The figures can be seen as an attempt to escape this pressure on herself and to accept ‘mistakes’. They also offer the viewer a potential for identification.
