Works speak of layers - of peeling back the everyday to reveal a feeling or emotion which at times uncovers a sense of disquiet in an otherwise serene scene. Zelga looks beyond the physical elegance of the line, and more intensively towards the emotional vulnerability of the person. Essentially figurative with minimised context, often isolated or suspended in time, engaging with the viewer without distraction. Zelga’s interest in the mediums is independent of how they are used conventionally, moving seamlessly between woodcut print, drawing and painting where she respects but is not bound by expectation or tradition. Rooted in an archival approach, with a deep understanding of the rich potential of printmaking work begins with a figure which may come from a sleeve, a fabric, a photograph or a feeling. Everything begins with drawing & the line. It is where she finds her voice; be it charcoal on wood, ink on paper or oil on canvas she is most present when working physically with her materials.
