Edith Karlson acquired her MA degrees at the Sculpture department of Estonian Academy of Arts. She has collaborated on numerous projects with art collective Gelitin and Sarah Lucas. By merging classical and untraditional materials, Karlson reveals a strange, fantastic and inevitable world, where a Person confronts a Myth–the motifs of snakes and naked bodies remind of Sodom and Gomorrah. Eventually everything merges into one dark mythological fairy-tale, only presumptive reflections of reality can be seen in its fictional layers.
The work was part of the exhibition "Do Come in, the Door is Open!", at KUMU Art Museum, Tallinn.
