Heike Berl
Heike Berl deals with the beauty and destruction of nature, art history as well as with German history; she works in the techniques of drawing, pulp painting, printmaking and paper sculpture. The artist´s work is centered in Dresden and Sweden, and she exhibits internationally. Heike Berl does study trips focussing on historical paper mills, drawings and prints. Interdisciplinary work and research in co-operation with various workshops and print cabinets to promote this unique cultural heritage is very close to her heart.
