Sophie von Hellermann
“There will be music in our heads. Sirens are singing and the flashing lights of fluorescent blue reflected by cascading waves crashing into the glass windows of the museum. This ‘outside coming in, inside coming out’ interplay will be captured by my paintings in the space and by Anne’s beautiful dancing figures.”
