I went to listen at an artist talk of EMMT DIJKSTRA at Manhattan Graphics Center. She is an printmaker and does performances in her printed paper dresses. She showed some of her works which she made from her experience living in her home country Netherland, NY and Stockholm. It is interesting to see how an artist transformed her life experience into her art works.
