Evelyn Grzinich
EVELYN MÜÜRSEPP (aka eku) is a mixed media artist and cultural coordinator, based in Southeast Estonia. Since 2001 I have worked as an artist-organizer, coordinating activities for MoKS- Center for Arts and Social practice, a non-profit residency center and project space. This ongoing life-university has offered me opportunity to learn from artists from all over the world and develop fruitful collaborations in various media. My recent interest and ongoing work is with drawing where I explore how the repetitive movement of a pen/pencil affects the body and its motion. This surface-body-surface feedback is a generative method to shift from abstraction to figural imagery.
