bio:

Aggelika moves through her practice with the sensibility of a poet, constructing inner narratives drawn from images, thought-forms, and sounds that seem to inhabit imagined landscapes. Working with materials rooted in nature, she shapes wood and metal into forms that hold subtle tensions — between ease and unease, weight and lightness, intimacy and the unfamiliar. Through processes of cutting, assembling, and marking, matter-in her hands- becomes a carrier of atmosphere and memory. Her work occupies a threshold where imagination meets making, creating connections between the self and the other, between the intangible and the tactile.

statement:

Cities, Places. In the deep night and the freedom of association, within the word "city," a place, without anticipating where it will lead me, whether I shall experience fear, sorrow, or joy, without concern for whether it will be beautiful, ugly, right, or wrong. Temples, buildings, ancient cities, ceremonies, crime, metros, taxis, horizons, rivers. In those cities where I harbored a childhood dream to reside, enchanted by black and white films, books and narratives, yet never dwelled, the association of thought ceased, and the labor of creation commenced. Perhaps this, too, may constitute a form of redemption! Varanasi, Manila, Sri Lanka, Tokyo, Hanoi, Kathmandu, as I have fashioned them.
