| Creating an Emotional Environment
..."She puts together signs and symbols, abstract concepts, familiar shapes, banal associations, rough materials, industrial paints and multicolored lights together with cultural, ethnic, religious and science fiction references. She draws upon collective consciousness and subconscious memory and experience and processes everything through the highly subjective data of her own individuality. The image she thus builds strives to wholeness and the work itself becomes an opulent show, oscillating between convention and invention." Joanna Nicolau, curator

"I create an artistic object which will activate subconscious - emotional factors in the spectator. I want to "stage" the created feeling through certain color and form combinations which, I feel, work in a similar way (though on different levels) on most people perhaps through a collective subconscious. I see my work as creating an emotional environment which catapults the spectator into internal events." Miriam Neiger-Fleischmann
