Ursula Scherrer
“The Celts were not concerned with perfecting harmony but rather with inner movement when confronted with the eternity beyond the realm of time. Their intuitive realization of the transience of all reality led them to seek the seemingly unreal.” Lancelot Lengyel
The poetic quality of Scherrer’s work draws viewers into Being and allows them to become immersed in their own story. A situation transforms itself into an abstract portrait consisting of forms, colors, and light. Scherrer’s journey began with dance and choreography, and continued with photography, video, text, mixed media, and performance art. Space, light, and time intertwine inextricably.
