Correspondence

In an ongoing correspondence (since 2023) Edith Kollath and Anne Brannys circle around the concepts of hope, labour and related artistic and social issues. In the process, pictorial and textual elements are interwoven, each element offering points of connection for the coming response. The resulting choral fabric of thoughts, forms and references is constantly expanded and condensed, developing an independent artistic expression.
