In the lecture the artist explores an ongoing practice rooted in
existential inquiry, material research, and organic cycles. Driven by the need to include everyday life in the creative process, the approach remains deeply lived rather than serious an exercise in formal experimentation. The presentation delves into how raw matterpanning classical pigments to the domestic general of the kitchen.

Elsa Dorothea Gísladóttir - about the artist:
Throughout her career, Elsa has held numerous exhibitions. In her
practice, raw matter services as the fundamental vocabularies of research into simulation, material reclamation, living systems, sustainability, natural physical laws, and the subtle, metaphysical dimensions. Her methodology isdisciplinary, working across media and three-dimensional forms, installations, printmaking, and performative media by the modern society of each other.
