Judith Trepp
Rolling Residency
“I dig.
Athens is a city of layers—historical, emotional, textural. In my work I seek to go beyond the individual layers to find and explore that part of each of us which is communal; regardless of time, nationality, ethnicity or religion and make this essential core visible. Thus the artwork creates a moment of confrontation and ultimately dialogue with the viewer.”
