“First I see a very strong image looking like commonplace nature. More than this, it’s aesthetically magical. Ripping with byzantine focus, its absolute realism and pseudoscience. Surprisingly shocking the utterly bizarre, wholly (un)expected and pretty extraordinary. Making that which looks simple into something of a visual conundrum, from Cristina Schek’s inner mindfulness and (de)mystifying associations of philosophical expression, extrasensory automatism and surrealist experimentation.” @estellelovatt, FRSA
