Artist Statement
The work "Skilnadarótti" is the artist's reprocessing of their own as well as their mother’s
separation anxiety. The piece captures the beauty that can only grow in a relationship
when we let go, give space instead of holding on tight and strangling the other. A flower
blooming in on a lush meadow, healthy borders are intact around it. The mixed-media work
consists of paper, fine-liner, acrylic pens and paint as well as sequins and glitter. It is
positioned on a round wooden plate with 11cm in diameter.
Theresa K. Jakobsen (they/them) is a German creative, who after spending the pandemic on the remote Faroe Islands re-entered the colorful streets of Berlin city. The challenges of living in another country were a propulsion to their creativity. Theresa creates mixed media art and writes multilingual pieces that circle around the theme of human-nature relationships in a digital age. Pinkudreyma.welt (little dream world) is the title of their ongoing art project.
