Egill Sæbjörnsson Flower Vase V

Next up in die raum is a new animated piece by Egill Sæbjörnsson made for the 5m2 space: 'Flower Vase V'. The digitally traced flower vase drawing projected onto a three-dimensional object is simply about the joy of drawing, stressing the importance and healing effects of playfulness and creativity, now more than ever. To Sæbjörnsson the flower drawings are what his 'inner child' enjoys to make and as such a reference to art therapy and specifically the Icelandic pioneer Sigríður Björnsdóttir: 'Art has been my guiding light throughout my life and career. I believe that we all have the ability to experience and react by expressing ourselves without thinking. The pictures that emerge spontaneously during the creative process are a reflection of a much bigger process, an individual’s inner journey. This has to do with getting in touch with and harnessing the creative force that lies within us all. This was why I knew that every child could create a picture'. (Quote from 'Art can Heal' by Ágústa Oddsdóttir soon to be published by Walther König)
