NINA PAPACONSTANTINOU

Lives and works in Athens, Greece.

The extensive transformations of the body of texts, which the artist attempts through the practice of drawing, by copying, tracing, inscribing, piercing, enlarging, scattering and assembling texts, and manipulating illustrations from fairy tales and short stories, are suggestive of her reflections on narrative and fiction, communication and its concealment, trace and gesture, time and memory, language and, through it, imagery.  Tina Pandi, curator, EMST National Museum of Contemporary Art, Athens, Greece.
