Mona Rith
Work
Mona Rith’s work aims to figure out the character of a material whilst in dialogue with technique. She attempts to work with the effect and consequence of cooperation with her material. Process as a formative part of the aesthetics. The allure of structure and decomposition.
An interesting and intense part of the working process is the fact that every single element of a completed art work has been touched by its creator. As a result, there is a very close relationship between artist and material.
